Steer Clear of Wildlife

According to the State Farm press release in October 2011, Pennsylvania is one of the highest risk states for deer-vehicle collisions.

Some things you can do:

1. When you see the deer crossing signs on the side of the road, or the public awareness ones we have posted around the area, pay close attention. These are located in areas where there is a high deer population.
2. Don’t Litter. This seems like a no-brainer, and there are many reasons not to litter, including the attraction to wildlife it could convey. We don’t want to encourage them to come anywhere near the road. This includes food, paper, etc.
3. If you see one deer, there are most likely more to come.
4. Use your high beams when possible.
5. Stay alert while you are driving. Always watch the road and pay attention to the surroundings.
6. Keep your windshield clean.
