December 6, 2022Officials: Watch out for Deer on Ocean County roadways during mating season
Have you ever hit a Deer?
It's peak deer mating season, so expect to see more on the roads (especially during dawn and dusk).
Slow down, eliminate distractions, and use high beams in low-visibility areas.

Officials in New Jersey are advising drivers to drive cautiously on the state's roads as the autumn white-tailed deer mating season approaches.
Director of the Division of Fish and Wildlife Larry Herrighty has stated in the past that deer are "engaged in thousands of incidents with motor vehicles in New Jersey each year, with the biggest number happening during the fall mating season."
We firmly advise all drivers to be especially vigilant for the likelihood of deer unexpectedly darting onto highways and to be aware of certain preventative measures they may take to lower the danger of significant damage to themselves or their passengers.
How To Avoid Hitting A Deer
If you see a deer while driving, brake and wait until the road is clear to proceed.
