Calif. To Post Pig Crossing Signs

POSTED: 5:26 p.m. EST February 6, 2004

CARMEL, Calif. -- Monterey County in Northern California will soon get its very own "wild pig crossing" highway signs.

California transit officials say there are several accidents involving pigs in that area every year, but few get reported.

The new signs will be posted in the next few months. They'll show the silhouettes of a boar and a baby boar on a traditional diamond-shaped, yellow background.

Other animals featured on California road warning signs are deer, cows and bears.

Signs are useless. Nobody changes the way they drive over those signs, except an idiot. You should already be driving in a safe and reasonable manner, and be able to react to an animal in front of you.

Wow I thought most of the Cali politicians drove not walked.

I was going to say something like that; only I was going to suggest silhouettes of Fein-ken-stein & Co.

I live in a semi-rural area. We recently had a new neighbor call the local township administrative office to request the removal of the Deer Crossing sign on our road.

The reason: Many deer were being hit by cars and he no longer wanted them to cross there.

Rosie O'Donnel likes to walk with her doughnut bumper pals along the road looking for causes to champion...the signs are for her and Babs.

A local city (Temecula) has a duck crossing sign.

Australia is full of Kagaroo crossing signs - doesn't seem to help any more than the tens of thousands of deer signs scattered though our mid-west ... the dumb animals can't read!

It will make hunting the little guys easier though.
