Why did the duck cross the road?

To slow speeding drivers, it seems.
Ann Martin, 63,trained the ducks to appear at the side of the road during the morning and afternoon rush hours. As soon as motorists see the birds, they hit the brakes to avoid running them over.
Local councillor Tommy Bartlett said:The flock, which includes 20 ducks and four geese,slow down the cars. The geese sometimes stop in the middle of the road and that puts a stop to the rush.'
