I love terrapins. Since I got my license I have always stopped when I saw one crossing the road -- and put it on the other side. (Yes, going the same direction it was headed -- otherwise it just turns around and crosses again.) When my kids got old enough, they would aid in the crossing and I just had to pull over. If it was a spot that was really dangerous, we have relocated them to more densely wooded areas. My daughter (the only one left at home) just transported one across the road last week! Friends and extended family say we are eccentric (and that we are going to get hit by a car for our troubles). I can now point to this to prove that we aren't so odd, after all.

The turtles die in freak accidents when there are many pretty signages to remind drivers to drive slowly :) What a contrast!
