Reducing the Risk

Reducing the number of wildlife vehicle collisions is essential for public safety and for sustaining healthy wildlife populations. It is in the best interest of the public, government, and transportation agencies.

Drivers need the following information:

• Where are wildlife vehicle collisions most frequent?
• When are wildlife vehicle collisions most likely to occur?
• What can drivers do to reduce their chances of being involved in these collisions?
• What do drivers need to know about animal behaviour in order to anticipate locations where wildlife vehicle collisions may occur?
• What do drivers do if an animal is hit?
• What are highways managers doing to reduce the risk on the roads?
