An observation

I see Duck Crossing and and Deer Crossing signs all the time, but rarely do I see any ducks or deer.

It's almost a tease.

After all, who wouldn't want to see a duck and a bunch of ducklings waddling across the street?

In terms of crossing signs, it seems to me that the Elderly Crossing signs are the ones that hold the most promise in terms of actually seeing the fauna that they describe.  

There's an Elderly Crossing sign down the street, and there's always a good chance of catching sight of an elderly person in the wild. 

Not always in the crosswalk, which is frustrating, but then again, the few ducks and deer that I have seen haven't always used the crosswalk, either.
