With shorter days and earlier sunsets, drivers may find themselves sharing the road with more wildlife during their morning and evening commutes. Deer, moose, and other animals are most active around dawn and dusk, which will soon coincide with some of the busiest times on our roadways.

Reduced daylight and changing weather conditions can make it more difficult to spot animals near or crossing the road. Motorists are reminded to stay alert, reduce speed in areas known for wildlife activity, and scan both sides of the roadway, particularly in rural and wooded areas.

A moment of extra caution can help prevent a collision and keep everyone on the road safe!

Avec des journées plus courtes et des couchers de soleil plus précoces, les conducteurs pourraient se retrouver à partager la chaussée avec davantage d’animaux sauvages lors de leurs trajets matinaux et en fin de journée. Les cerfs, les orignaux et d’autres animaux sont particulièrement actifs à l’aube et au crépuscule, moments qui coïncideront bientôt avec les heures de pointe sur nos chaussées.

La diminution de la lumière du jour et les conditions météorologiques changeantes peuvent rendre plus difficile la détection des animaux se trouvant près de la route ou en train de la traverser. On rappelle aux automobilistes de rester vigilants, de réduire leur vitesse dans les zones connues pour la présence d’animaux sauvages et de surveiller attentivement les deux côtés de la chaussée, en particulier dans les zones rurales et boisées.

Un moment de prudence supplémentaire peut aider à prévenir une collision et à assurer la sécurité de tous les usagers de la chaussée.
