Nearly everyone I know who hit a deer on rural roads has ignored the lowered speed limits and the warning signs about deer crossings on some notion of conspiracy that it's a government plot to get people to drive slower because the government hates cars and then they get really mad at the deer
Maybe if the government wasn't also implementing stupid speed limits people would start trusting them when it comes to this?

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.
ours are just advisory and don't even ask people to reduce speed. Just a sign with a deer on it, randomly sprinkled around the deep woods. People still get mad
fuck cars. ecocide machines filling the world with brake dust and synthetic rubber particles
And also every job requires a full license and a vehicle, so we're forced to use them because public transport is non-existent
they make me buy a death machine so I can participate in the death machine
