I just remember something about deer cross walks. While i was in Luxembourg, i noticed that they have deer bridges over the main highways. The road is fenced pretty high, so the only way for deer to cross the road is to go up on this bridge. And they are marked for deer use :) Genna M. gmbeasley@mindspring.com wrote in message <368fb105.19990866@news.mindspring.com>... whorning@pipeline.com (Walt Horning) wrote: >I was just wondering.

Believe it or not, deer commute too. The deer crossings came first and then the signs. The signs are supposed to warn people to watch for the door, since deer keep crossing in unsuitable places and we don't seem to be able to retrain them to use the cross walks. The deer were getting wiped out, but so were people. But you knew that, didn't you? grandma Rosalie
