Abstract

A section of coloado highway with the highest frequency of deer accidents per mile in the state was chosen for the study. A reflectorized diamond sign with "deer xing" in neon lights was compared with a reflectorized diamond with 4 animated silhouettes in neon tubing, lit in sequence. Both signs resulted in a small, but statistically significant reduction in traffic speeds past the sign. The second sign appeared to initiate a greater response on the part of the motorist.
