In New Jersey, the deer crossing sign isn’t informational, it’s ceremonial. It marks the exact point where your commute stops being predictable and starts being a trust exercise.

That yellow sign doesn’t mean “watch for wildlife.” It means something in the woods has already clocked your speed and made a decision.

Jersey deer don’t dart. They hesitate. They wait until you’re comfortable. Then they step out with the confidence of something that knows you’re trapped between a guardrail, a ditch, and a bad insurance deductible.

They don’t aim for the road...they aim for the moment you think, *“I’m probably fine.”*

You slow down. Nothing happens. You relax. That’s when it appears, not running, not scared, just there.

Headlights mean nothing. Horns are a suggestion. Hazards are an admission of defeat. And if you think that was the only one, congratulations, you’ve just met the decoy.

In New Jersey, deer don’t cross roads. They supervise them.

In New Jersey, the speed limit is more of a suggestion...like “best by” dates The real rule is add 20 and don’t break the formation. If we’re all speeding together, nobody’s speeding, and that’s just math.

The moment you decide to go the actual speed limit, you’ve violated a social contract older than jug handles...and now you’re not just driving slow...you’re betraying the entire state. And yes, we will ride your bumper about it.
