Essential Traffic Sign in Helsinki

(Photo: Petri Pusa)

The photoblog What The Helsinki?, which documents life in Finland's capital city, reports that this sign is "essential." I approve of the concept, but think that it could go further by permitting porcupines to use the human crosswalk.

When driving near the same place I noticed that the sign has been changed for this - http://www.upload.ee/image/4177398/siilid.png

With some summerheat untouched logic I conclude that there is speedlimit to the cars and warning about running squirrels in the street. I have seen warnings about toads, hedgehogs and sheep (yes, sheep!) in streets of Tallinn, some with speedlimit additions as in this picture.

What does that mean? Are squirrels limited to 40 kph?

There are no porcupines in Helsinki, only hedgehogs.

South of Helsinki is another capital - Tallinn. The traffic signs are equally confusing - https://twitter.com/hajaveeb/status/491223412787134464
