Electronic Turtle-Crossing Sign
The sign in front of my property (next to the Celery Farm) says "Snapping Turtle Migration," then flashes "Anticipate Turtles Crossing."
How many people get awesome signs like this by their yard?
I am not sure if the turtles are using the crosswalk, but the sign can't hurt.
(Judging from all the digging in my yard, I don't think too many turtles are crossing Franklin turnpike, but what do I know?)
Thanks to the borough or whoever had the sign put up. Nobody likes to see a turtle-related accident.
