Why does the highway department put up all those “Deer Crossing” signs ? I doubt they can even read. The deer, I mean; some of the highway crewmen probably can.
And even if they could read, why would they cross where any human tells them to ?
The answer will remain forever hidden. I wouldn’t trust a human if I were wildlife. I hope this doesn’t get moved to some trivial place at this site. Like ANYWHERE, for instance. I’ll quiet down now. I know some of you are involved in Real Science.
Those “Deer Crossing” signs are not there to direct deer. They’re there to warn motorists that deer often cross the highway in that area.
What are they crossing with? Antelope? Goats? Peccaries? Marmots?
It’s unnatural, I tells ya.
Of Course ! It seems so …simple, now. Gee, mister, thanks !
Why can’t more of you show such courtesy ? Answer that one, Jeff, if you will sir.

If there are requirements that must be met before a traffic device can be installed, those requirements are called the warrants. The warrants for a deer crossing sign appear to vary greatly by state and county.
From Washtenaw County, Michigan: “Installation of deer Crossing signs is warranted if five deer car related accidents have occurred in a twelve month period.”
You’ll notice that this does not require the deer to cross the road. From the MUTCD (the sacred book of traffic devices and signs): “Non-Vehicular Warning . . . signs (see Figure 2C-11) may be used to alert road users in advance of locations where unexpected **entries into the roadway **might occur or where **shared use of the roadway **by pedestrians, animals, or equestrians might occur.” Bolding mine.
And why don’t they just make airplanes out of the same thing they make the black box so it will be indestructible?
Since this is obviously not intended seriously, I’m moving it to MPSIMS from Great Debates. Someone please put up a sign to notify any deer.
Damn it Marley, pay attention! We’ve already covered the fact that deer can’t read. How are they going to find the new thread? It’s this kind of shit that get’s people bitching about the moderating.
This is the same reason deer are not good farm animals, they are stubborn and do not obey orders.
Depends on where you are. In northern Norway, Sweden, and Finland the Sami have domesticated their deer (reindeer) which are their primary means of livelihood. Their well-mannered deer do not cross highways. (The fact that there are no highways is irrelevant.) 
Damn deer —always trying to buck the system.
The OP’s schtick was already done by a lady in ND.

I’m afraid you made the same mistake a dope hopper made in The Wire when Herc asked him where he bought the baseball caps that have the bill on the side instead of in the front.
You think that the deer warning signs are a waste of money? A bunch of years ago they put a tunnel for deer to cross under an interstate highway. As of a year later, not one deer ever used the tunnel.
And is it really fair to expect slow children to know which streets they’re supposed to play on?
the reason deer can’t read is because their eyesight is so poor.
Here’s your sign?

Which brings to mind ------- why are the Native Americans still looking for Falling Rock?
I bet that construction project cost a fair bit of doe.
