CHP Dublin: 'Geese Keep Playing Chicken On The Freeway'

DUBLIN, CA — Apparently emboldened by Alameda County's stay-at-home order, geese are bravely staking out claims on East Bay freeways.

California Highway Patrol — Dublin officers have now caught three waterfowl families in two weeks on local roads.

CHP first shared on May 6 that officers gave a police escort to birds walking along the shoulder near the I-580 Tassajara Road/Santa Rita Road exit.

But then it happened again. And again.

"Seriously!? Why do these geese keep playing chicken on the freeway?" CHP wrote on Twitter.

CHP shared on May 11 that geese were steered off of westbound I-580 at Fallon Road. The next day officers shared another photo — this time, officers had to stop traffic as two adult geese and their four babies crossed the roadway.

Thanks for looking out for humans and waterfowl alike, CHP.
