Watch for wildlife on the highways

The Ministry of Natural Resources is asking motorists to be extra cautious on Ontario’s roads at this time of year when more wildlife is on the move.
Moose, elk, and deer are particularly active in the spring, especially at dawn and dusk, as they search for food and summering areas.

Deer rarely travel alone so when motorists see one, there are likely more nearby.
Drivers who see these animals along the road should slow down and sound their horns in a series of short bursts.
Motorists should take extra care where roads cross creeks or rivers, in wooded corridors, or where field edges run perpendicular to the road.
They also should be cautious where fences meet roads and where wildlife crossing signs are posted.
