moose crossing

Deer-family road warning

A moose crossing is a stretch of road where moose frequently pass, marked by warning signs showing the animal's silhouette.

Common in northern regions where moose populations overlap with highways, these crossings alert drivers to watch for animals that can weigh over a thousand pounds: Slow down through the moose crossing—collisions can be fatal.
