Duck family stops traffic on Highway 1

A cute, but scary sight was what some drivers caught a glimpse of on Highway 1 Friday evening.

This mommy duck and her ducklings decided Highway 1 near the 41st Avenue exit was a good place to cross the road. However if you’ve driven it, you know it’s a heavily trafficked area.

Viewer Mary Racioppi tells us the duck stopped in the median, looked both ways and continued walking with her family in tow.

They made it safely across the street after causing some brief traffic backup.
