WSDOT dropped a cheeky Instagram post reminiscent of a semi-truck barreling down I-5 with no brakes. The theme? Zodiac signs…as road safety gear.

鈥淲e consulted our oracle to better connect you to the safety features found in and around our work zones,鈥� a spokesperson said. 鈥淎nd while this is all just for fun, THE best safety feature to keep workers and travelers safe is…you.鈥�
Aries (Traffic Barrel)
Bold. Orange. In your way. Doesn鈥檛 care. Will aggressively roll into oncoming traffic just to prove a point.
Taurus (Concrete Barrier)
Immovable. Emotionally and physically. This is a sign that says 鈥淚鈥檓 not mad. I鈥檓 just… here. Forever.鈥� Probably hasn’t moved since 1998.
Gemini (Flagger)
Flipping signs and moods like it鈥檚 their part-time job (because it is). Attention-seeking? Yes. Confusing? Also yes. Wait, are we going or stopping?
Cancer (Truck-Mounted Attenuator)
Sensitive soul disguised as heavy machinery. Exists solely to protect you from crashing 鈥� emotionally and literally. Will cry if you honk.
Leo (High-Vis Safety Gear)
LOOK. AT. ME. Leo is visibility incarnate. Probably owns a reflective jumpsuit “for the drama.”
Virgo (Digital Message Board)
Clear. Concise. No typos. Probably correcting other signs鈥� grammar between alerts.
Libra (Arrow Board)
Can鈥檛 pick a side… so just blinks both ways. Internally panicking, externally vibing.
Scorpio (Flashing Amber & Green Lights)
Mysterious. Hypnotic. A little suspicious. Are those lights for you? Are they for someone else? No one knows. Scorpios like it that way.
Sagittarius (Pilot Car)
Doesn鈥檛 check maps. You鈥檙e either keeping up or getting left behind. Also has a fabulous bumper sticker.
Capricorn (Steel-Toed Boots)
Sturdy. Serious. Has a five-year plan and a reinforced heel.
Aquarius (Portable Traffic Signal)
Possibly invented by aliens. Knows it’s improving society, even if no one knows how it works.
Pisces (Work Zone Speed Limit Sign)
The soft voice saying, 鈥減lease slow down鈥� Dreamy. Vulnerable. Still believes in the concept of patience 鈥� bless.
