Drive with Caution

City police would like to advise motorists to be extra cautious when travelling along Black Road between Second Line East and Third Line East as there have been several deer crossings reported in the area of the baseball fields.

Attentive driving is the best way to avoid deer collisions. Keep these tips in mind:

• Turn your headlights on at dawn and dusk and keep your eyes on the road, scanning the sides of the road as well as what’s ahead of you. When there is no oncoming traffic, switch to high beams to better reflect the eyes of deer on or near the roadway. To reduce your risk of injury in a collision, always wear your seatbelt.

• Watch for deer crossing signs that mark commonly used areas, and be aware that deer typically cross between areas of cover, such as woods or where roads divide agricultural fields from forestland.

• If you see a deer crossing the road ahead, slow down immediately and proceed with caution until you are past the crossing point. Deer usually travel in groups, so if you see one deer, there are likely to be others.

• Slow down and blow your horn with one long blast to frighten deer away.

• Do not swerve to miss a deer – brake and stay in your lane. Losing control of your vehicle, crossing into another lane, hitting an oncoming vehicle or leaving the roadway and hitting another obstacle such as a tree or a pole is likely to be much more serious than hitting a deer.

• If you hit a deer, stop at the scene, get your car off the road if possible and call police. Do not touch the animal or get too close.
A frightened and wounded deer can cause serious injury to a well-meaning person trying to help. You could be bitten, kicked or even gored by a buck’s antlers. It’s safer to keep your distance.
