The Iowa Department of Transportation issued an important clarification for drivers confused by deer crossing signs: "Deer can't read signs."
The department said in a Facebook post that officials field an unusual question "on a pretty regular basis" from drivers who apparently seem to believe deer crossing signs are placed to tell the animals where they should cross.
"Q. Why don't you put these signs where it is safer for the deer to cross?
A. Deer can't read signs. Drivers can. This sign isn't intended to tell deer where to cross, it's for drivers to be alert that deer have been in this area in the past."

Hit a deer here in SW PA about 4 mos ago and totaled my Honda.
Got a newer Honda and the other night a doe committed suicide by running into my door.
I've killed more deer this year with my car than I have in the last 5 yrs with rifle or bow.

I saw a deer at the side of a busy four lane (two in each direction) road in CNY standing at the side of the road.
He kept looking both ways, waiting for it to be clear to cross.
My daughter and I could not believe it.

How about the signs made to make those of us with metal in our arms self conscious, “Soft Shoulder.” Yes I know I have one, I don’t need a road sign to mock me about it.

I always hoped Larson would do one with the deer getting caught in the act of drawing large X’s on the road next to a Deer Xing sign.
