The state Department of Transportation is looking for a name for its work zone safety mascot. This straight-from-Burning-Man creature is over 10 feet tall.

If you’ve got an idea, post or tweet your suggestion by Sept. 9. Use the hashtag #ObeyTheOrange or go to the FB page.

    Danger Zone Danny.

    Is he on the Haz Duty Pension plan yet?

    I’d call him “Crash Malloy” and run a workpace lotto. I’d like some low numbers too like Days 1,2 and 3. Day 1 if he’s on Homestead Avenue for sure.

    How about “Road-Kill” ?

    Those barrels are like $80 each. Glad to see my DOT dollars hard at work. Ridiculous waste of taxpayer money.

      That was my initial reaction, but then I remembered how obscenely expensive marketing campaigns were to develop. I realized they were saving lots of money – but the result??????

        The result? It’s like putting a 6 point Buck in front of Deer Hunters to raise awareness of the pain and suffering they bring to deer.
