Moose rarely win any altercation with a motor vehicle. Sometimes however the match is a draw...........
From the horror stories I've heard motorists get killed quite often hitting moose due to the animal's high centre of gravity causing the weight of its body and antlers to fall directly onto the cab of the vehicle.
I've always been fascinated by the Risque du Brouillard Quand le Feu Clignotent roadsigns in Quebec.
Most Quebec roadsigns are pretty self evident because of vocabulary overlap between English and French, but "brouillard" has no English correlate. I always feel sorry for any American confronted with these large yellow cautionary signs with flashing light on a Quebec autoroute. I can see them freaking out, not knowing that brouillard simply means "fog."
I think that just occasionally, and simply for purposes of clarity, it might not hurt the Quebec government to make just a few roadsigns bilingual, if for no other reason than simply for safety purposes...........
I haven't seen the word "brouillard" on a sign in Quebec in a long time. At least one that isn't accompanied by a very clear pictogram. But yes they used to have the word on them, so maybe they took your hint.
This is what the fog signs look like in Quebec now:

I've always thought these Quebec signs went hard:

Yeah, they have one of these outside the elementary school behind my house. Like, right in front of the school. I wonder if someone got run over in the past.
More than likely.. there are so many fools driving by this school, especially at peak school times..

What if it means that there are pantless girls with one loose sock sleeping in the street that you need to beware of?
