Deer alert
Anyone driving along the rural roads needs to watch for deer crossing. During autumn and winter there is a greater chance of encountering deer during the early morning or early evening hours. Reduce speed while on rural roads going through wooded areas or along open fields, and watch along the roadside. At night watch for glowing eyes from the light reflected in the eyes of deer.
