The signs feature a picture of an elk. As if we didn&rsquo;t know what an elk looked like.</p> <p>I have driven 191 since before they widened it, and in that time I have encountered elk on the road, elk beside the road, elk standing in the middle of the road staring at me with an expression that can only be described as bureaucratic indifference. Not once did I require a sign to inform me of what was happening.</p>
