Re: [ECOLOG-L] wildlife crossing sign design?

Hi, Brett, Unfortunately, I can't help you with sign design, but it would be neat if you got a couple of seasons of road-kill data before you put the signs up. That way you could conduct a before-and-after study and see if the signs actually do any good, or with enough time and data,
