The Department of Transportation is using haikus to get New Yorkers to pay attention to traffic safety rules.
Transportation officials unveiled a series of "curbside haikus," artful signs that will deliver a short but critical safety messages.
The signs are being posted in high-crash locations throughout the city .
Artist John Morese wrote the haikus and designed the accompanying art work.
Officials say the signs will not be a distraction to drivers since they are only 8-by-8-inches.
They will be on display through next fall.
