Mississippi transportation agency marks fall with turn-signal reminder

The Mississippi Department of Transportation marked the official first day of fall with a reminder for drivers to use turn signals when changing lanes or turning.

The post referenced the seasonal popularity of pumpkin spice products and encouraged motorists to keep the autumn spirit focused on decorations and clothing rather than unsafe driving. It warned that an unexpected lane change could contribute to a three-car pileup, which it described as an undesirable outcome.
