Related: About this forumDonna, Radio Caller, Wants Deer Crossing Signs Moved So Deer Won't Cross Highways (AUDIO)
If we moved deer crossing signs off of highways, deer would finally stop running into oncoming traffic.
That's the complaint one caller in North Dakota aired to the Y94 Playhouse radio station earlier this month.
The woman -- only known as Donna -- was either hoaxing the hosts or really thought that her three deer-related car crashes over the past few years were the result of government posted deer crossing signs posted along high-traffic roads.
"My frustration is that Minnesota and North Dakota departments of transportation would allow these deer crossings in such high traffic areas," she says. "Why are we encouraging deer to cross at the interstate?"

Donna The Deer Lady - The Rest of the Story
UPDATE: The radio station called Donna back days later due to the interest in the original video. She's all red in the face, but she thanked the hosts for not laughing at her -- too much.
"I feel so stupid," she said. "I had no clue that these signs are for us."

She said she had never thought about it before, that the signs were for her and not the deer. Duh. How hard do you have to think to come to the conclusion that deer cannot read signs????
At least she was a good sport.
