Duck traffic control - Pics of ducks and duck-related warning signs

Ducks are abundant in the West Houston area, and so are signs attempting to cope with the challenges of their presence in a suburban environment, not to mention near or on roads. 

A selection:

Duck warning sign for motorists driving through Bear Creek Pioneers Park.


Caution: Duck Traffic across the Road


No swimming or wading allowed in the pond in the Southern part of George Bush Park... unless you are a duck, of course. 



Road-side duck control or rather motorist-control to protect the ducks when they get out of the water and waddle across the road.

Nor do these waddling birds just frequent parks, lakes and adjoining roads. Corporate campuses in West Houston are duck and geese habitat too:
