Up until I was in my twenties I could not understand how Deer Crossing signs worked.. I mean, how could the deer understand that they were supposed to cross the road where the sign was??? It didn't dawn on me until one day I saw a neighbor had posted a "baby raccoon crossing" sign in the neighborhood - that did it for me - I knew that baby raccoons could not possibly understand the sign...then it all started filtering in.....
