Do You Have to Stop For a Goose in the Road in Fort Collins?
Fort Collins traffic can get really backed up really quickly when a flock of geese decide to cross the road. Do you have to stop and wait? What is the law about geese in the road?
We reached out to the Larimer Humane Society to answer this question. The response came from Kaylene Weingardt, the Marketing & Community Outreach Manager. She said "there is not a specific animal ordinance which states 'right of way', but in Fort Collins, Loveland and Larimer County there is a provision that says 'needlessly kill', which can mean swerving a car to purposely hit an animal is unlawful."
It's obviously cruel, wrong, and unnecessary to run them over, so we'll just have to wait for them to cross. But now you know what the law says.
Here is the exact wording for that ordinance:.
