RICHMOND, Va. -- Chris "Ludacris" Bridges was wowed to see a reference to himself and the newest "Fast and Furious" movie pop up on VDOT's electronic message board signs in the Commonwealth.
The Grammy-winning rapper, actor and entrepreneur took to Instagram Saturday to post a photo of a sign reading "DRIVING FAST AND FURIOUS? THAT'S LUDACRIS."
Ludacris posted that he could not believe the sign was real and asked "should this **** be on every highway?"
"Virginia I love you back!" he wrote.
VDOT officials replied on Twitter, "We ❤️ you, too!"
And in response to a woman who posted a pic of the sign along I-95 near the Atlee exit in Hanover County and chided, "aight now Virginia, that’s enough," VDOT officials replied, "We’re trying our best."

We’re sure many of you want the “Number One Spot” in line for your lunch and dinner, but please don’t “Act a Fool” on our roads. Be sure to “Get Back” down to the posted speed limit. @Ludacris https://t.co/BnxvuJX079
