    iirc you aren't in the US, but at least here the deer crossing signs are actually bullshit lol (in that deer will cross most anywhere, not just the 1-2 mile stretches indicated by the signs)

    But yeah people love to just go 70mph down a road signed at 55 (and at dusk it should probably be even lower,) and then get surprised/angry when they total their car and kill a deer :/ rural car-drivers are universal I guess

      For a speed limiting sign to be even put up here people have to have crashed and gotten hurt like, a lot. Otherwise the first person to sue against it, which inevitably happens because my right to kill myself running into woodland creatures is attacked, would get them taken down.

      Every deer crossing speed limit is quite literally written in blood. They wouldn't be there if nothing happend.
