Digital messages on signs that lined Ontario’s 400-series highways, encouraging drivers to work from home on Monday, April 8, have been removed by the Doug Ford government.
The highway signs advised drivers to telework on Monday due to the total solar eclipse that will see parts of Canada go dark between 3:18pm ET and 5:12pm NT. “Skip traffic: telework,” the Ministry of Transportation signs read.
However, the message was not approved by senior political figures, and the signs have been taken down, according to the government.
