deer crossing

Roadside animal warning

A deer crossing is a stretch of road where deer frequently cross, marked by warning signs showing a leaping deer silhouette.

The signs alert drivers to slow down and watch for animals, especially at dawn and dusk when deer are most active.

Hit the brakes—there's a deer crossing up ahead.
