Tonight I was driving down the 417 and noticed this sign and had to pull over as it occurred to me that it was false advertising. If you're from Canada and you've ever seen a moose and a deer, you know they aren't even close to being the same size. A big deer ways approximately 275lbs where as a moose can weigh over 1200lbs, now if you look at the signage, they look like they are the same size. Ask anyone who's hit a moose or hit a deer and the impact difference is definitely not the same. Most people would rather take a hit from a deer, less chance of totaling your vehicle. All that being said, I do appreciate signs that tell me to be weary of them popping out at night as I'd rather avoid any contact with these nice animals. Be careful when driving at night during this time of year, better to be safe than sorry!
