You take a guess...

Just when you think you’ve seen it all in the way of highway and traffic signage, you come across a driving sign that you can honestly say you’ve never seen before. Point in case:



I must confess that my travelling companions and I were mystified as to exactly what this sign meant as we toured the lovely Mosel River Valley in SW Germany this past weekend. Wanna take a guess?

Answer: "Warning! The road ahead is used by migrating frogs".

Come again? Now exactly how does one know this is the place for migrating frogs? How do we know these frogs are migrating and not just jumping across the road? Is there such as thing as herds of migrating frogs or is this more of a solo venture.? And finally, it seems to me that a sign might not really do the trick. I mean, if you’re driving a car, you'll run up on these little fellas before you know it. Then, it will be too late…ouch! Not a pretty sight.

This gives the concept of “cattle crossing” a whole new meaning.
