We're not trying to throw shade at anyone, but like, come on folks. If you're someone that tosses trash out while you're driving, kindly reconsider. Help us keep Missouri healthy and beautiful 🌲🌾🚮

When your wipers are on, your headlights should be on too! Rain reduces visibility, and turning on your lights helps other drivers see you.

Earbuds block awareness. Take one out near traffic—your safety matters. #PedestrianSafety #StayAlert
