The immigration sign, depicted a man, woman, and girl with pigtails running
The Interstate 5immigrant crossing signs were California highway safety signs warning motorists to avoid hitting undocumented immigrants darting across the road. It depicted a man, woman, and girl with pigtails running. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) erected the signs in 1990 in response to over one hundred immigrant pedestrian deaths due to traffic collisions from 1987 to 1990 in two corridors along Interstate 5 along the San Ysidro Port of Entry at the Mexico–United States border and approximately 50 miles (80 km) north at the San Clemente United States Border Patrol checkpoint in Camp Pendleton.[1] Eventually the signs became obsolete after Caltrans erected fences in the freeway's median, and the Border Patrol implemented Operation Gatekeeper in 1995, forcing illegal immigration attempts further east.[2] No longer needing to replace them after they became dilapidated, the last immigration sign disappeared by 2018.[3] The sign remains a pop culture icon.[2]
