Turtle Signs

More signage news from around the world from Hants and Dorset Signs as inPotsdam, Caution: turtle crossing. Yellow caution signs will reappear this summer around the north country, in an attempt to warn drivers that turtles might be in the road as they head to nesting sites.

The temporary signs made their first appearance last summer, and will be back again in June, as a SUNY Potsdam professor tries to keep turtles from becoming roadkill.

"It might increase awareness," said Glenn Johnson, chairman of the biology department. "If you see a sign, for at least a half a minute you're looking ahead. Then you might see a bump in the road and slow down."

Last year's results suggested that the caution signs are ineffective, according to Mr. Johnson's research proposal. Researchers found no noticeable difference in the speed of passing vehicles or in animal mortality rates, but they are trying again anyway.
