NHTSA Urges Drivers to Watch for Deer

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is reminding drivers to stay alert for deer, which can enter roads unexpectedly in wooded areas and suburban neighborhoods.

The agency advises drivers to slow down and use extra caution, especially at dawn and dusk. Motorists should watch roadsides for deer and be aware that more may be nearby when one is spotted.

Drivers should also reduce speed in areas marked with deer crossing signs. If a deer enters the vehicle’s path, NHTSA advises braking and staying in the lane instead of swerving.
