Dodo sign mocks 'waste of money' duck warning
A spoof sign alerting drivers of dodos crossing the road has appeared close to two newly installed duck warning signs.
Essex County Council installed two duck crossing signs in Daws Heath Road, Thundersley, in February, despite locals claiming they had never seen ducks in the area.
The cost of installing it was estimated at £7,000, the Local Democracy Reporting Service had said.
The council had claimed there were "ducks crossing frequently".
A spokesperson confirmed the sign depicting the silhouette of a dodo - a bird which has been extinct for hundreds of years - was a spoof, like others that had appeared elsewhere in the county.
