This coinage was inevitable, but I first saw it yesterday on a sign on I-76 outside Camden, New Jersey:
GOING OUT?MASK UPDRIVING?BUCKLE UP
Please someone antedate "mask up", or OED will have to tag its citation with "Electronic sign on I-76".
Another sign on I-76 was "KEEP SOCIAL AND VEHICLE DISTANCING"
