Beavers and stag beetles are not the only animals on traffic signs in the Netherlands. After seeing the stag beetle sign on this blog, photographer Lizia in The Hague sent me a photo she had made in Scheveningen. She made it at the Harstenhoekweg, not so far from Meijendel nature reserve.
The sign says: Drive slowly. Toad migration.
Every spring, many European toads and other amphibians migrate to water in the Netherlands.

There are more toad traffic signs in the Netherlands (probably there is only one stag beetle one).

Would like to see the beetle sign – we need some raccoon, armadillo ones near one nature park. (The deer signs don’t seem to slow traffic much, but the deer are being careful)

There are amphibian migrations to the water in spring in many countries.

Thanks for the x-lation. I thought it said toads limited to 30 kph. Oh well, just like me to make bad assumptions.

That would not be necessary … toads usually are not as fast as frogs š
On the other hand, where toads cross, frogs usually cross as well.
