Observation Date / Time

Weather at time of observation: 82 degrees F, sunny. This is a small single lane road. I believe it is maintained by property owners on Dawn Hill Road. There is no posted speed limit, but 10 - 12 mph is slow enough to stop in time for the frequent wildlife crossing the lane. I live on this road and have put up signs near road on property where I live asking drivers to slow down. There have been at least 3 squirrels that I know of that have been killed on this little lane this year. There is a small bridge apx. 100 ft West of where squirrel hit with the Sonoma Creek passing under.
