Explanation
To reduce the risk of hitting an animal, drivers should stay alert, especially at dawn and dusk, when animals are most active. Scan both sides of the road and watch for the reflection of headlights in animals' eyes and slow down if you see an animal near the roadway. Use extra caution on roads marked with animal crossing signs and in areas near wooded areas or water, where wildlife is more common.
