CLEVELAND - Ohio bars are teaming up with the Safe Communities Coalition to bring their message to a new venue -- the men's room.

A motion sensor-activated talking urinal cake advises that the police are out in force this holiday weekend so don't take a chance on ending up in jail, get a safe ride home.

Ace Taxi and Anheuser-Busch have teamed up with law enforcement in the last week of the national Over The Limit, Under Arrest crackdown. Servers at participating bars and restaurants will be offering free taxi vouchers to make sure their is no reason to get behind the wheel if you've been drinking.

The hope is that if you've been drinking, you will listen to the voice from the urinal.
