Why deer crossing signs have disappeared from Minnesota highways

Deer crossing signs once were a common sight on Minnesota highways, but not any more.

Over the past decade, the yellow diamond-shaped signs bearing an image of a deer have all but vanished from state roads.

"We didn't see changes in human behavior," Smith said.
