In parts of Colorado they will intentionally fence a long strip next to the road and then have an opening in the fence with lights by it for deer to cross. The deer are going to cross the road, they just prefer for them to cross in a lighted and signed area.

You can't. We live close to a large national park that is so over saturated with deer the opened it to hunting last season to get rid of some. They are so thick that occasionally one will jump through a window Into houses. Deer accidents are almost as common as car accidents on route 49.

[–]tofurocks 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Why would anyone have a sign that says that? If they really wanted a sign to show where the children were playing they could of simply left it at "children at play." I don't understand why anyone would want to point out on a sign that they are "slow children."

Reminds me of that news clip about flooding from melting snow on r/funny's frontpage about a week ago. It said they should get rid of daylight savings time, because it adds an extra hour of PM sun and the PM sunlight was warmer, therefore it was melting more snow and causing more floods. Would've just linked to it, but I couldn't find it in a search.

I was walking through a very ritzy neighborhood and right in the middle of it was one of those signs. I was like, "Bullshit, where are they even going to come from". About 10 seconds later two deer jump out of someones backyard, run past the sign and almost get hit by a car.

I'm pretty sure this is an old joke. Someone either sent it to their local newspaper as a troll and had it printed, or, more likely, printed it themselves (possibly in a joke section of some sort).

There's an extra level of stupid here, that I've not seen mentioned yet.

"Move the sign to a road with less traffic" - not to a place on the road that has less traffic, but to an entirely different road.

It's like the deer just want to cross a road. Not that they need to get from one side of a specific road to another.

I'm not so sure the deer can even read the sign to begin with to even know it is a deer crossing anyway.

[–]schroedingers_hat 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Devil's advocate here, but I'm nearly certain deer possess the ability to focus on lettering of that size. While their vision has adapted for detection of predators from a distance rather than foraging, so the letters might become blurry up close, the image of a deer on the sign should convey the message to even an illiterate deer.

[–]azdak75 -2 points-1 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Upon first read: Tim of Crown Point seems dumb. Upon further review, I wonder if he might mean that they shouldn't put the deer crossing sign up on a crowded road, b/c deer are skittish & don't typically cross roads where there's a lot of traffic. They should put the sign up west of Crown Point on US231 where there's less traffic & thus more accidents from less bashful deer.
