Where I've seen them in eastern North Carolina (around the Pocosin Lakes NWR), they're not there for the benefit of environmentalists, but for motorists.
They have the same purpose as "Deer Xing" signs - to warn drivers because hitting a deer (or a bear) can cause significant damage to your vehicle, and might cause injury to passengers. On 11/28/2016 12:03 AM, Alan C wrote:
Obviously in Bear country but it could be in many places I suppose. Those sort of signs are testament to the innovation of environmentalists where there is cause for concern. You won't find them in official handbooks. I can think of 3 ad hoc signs from around here. 1. "Hippo" signs after a couple of accidents at night. 2. A "Crocodile" sign at Tzaneen (N of here) after one was run over. & 3. A "Birds - Slow" sign S of here where, for some reason, a lot of birds, especially doves, congregate on the road. Some people do care & one hopes the drivers take note.

Notice its bear, not bare. I've been in all the United States and don't recall seeing one before. Where was it taken ? http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=18315060 Kenneth Waller http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/kennethwaller
