MOTORISTS ADVISED TO BE ALERT FOR DEER, SLOW DOWN

TRENTON – Department of Environmental Protection Acting Commissioner Mark N. Mauriello today urged motorists to drive very carefully this season when deer are particularly active and more likely to be darting into roadways. 

\”It\’s breeding season for white-tailed deer right now, and motorists should be on the lookout,\” Commissioner Mauriello said. \”Deer can be seen crossing roadways at any time of day, but typically they are most active during the morning and in the evening. Motorists can minimize the risk of accidents with deer by being alert and slowing down.\”
