(Paxton, IL) — A road sign in central Illinois may be effective and attention-getting, even if it’s not completely accurate. The standard-looking yellow road sign on a rural road in Button Township warns drivers to beware of “suicidal deer.” Township highway commissioner Ron Hilligoss says the sign is more memorable than the usual “deer crossing” sign and he credits it for a drop in deer-versus-car crashes from 33 last year to zero so far this year.
