Starting soon signs like this are

going to be easier to read.

It's all apart of the VDOT'S plan
to make the roads safer for Virginia's
older drivers - which now make up 13
percent of the population.

Gradually, road crews will be
phasing in traffic signs with clearer
lettering - and for night drivers
expect to see more reflective lighting.

As far as the road itself,
they'll be more age-friendly too.
