Motorists advised to watch for caribou on the Northern Peninsula

Drivers are advised to be cautious while travelling between Plum Point and the St. Anthony Airport, and on the roadway between St. Anthony Airport and the Town of Main Brook.

Caribou herds have been active in these areas and the likelihood of caribou-vehicle collisions is on the ride.

These animals are expected to remain in the region throughout the rest of the fall and into the winter.

Reduce the risk of a caribou-vehicle collision by:

• Scanning both sides of the highway.
• Paying attention to caribou warning signs on roads and highways.
• Avoiding driving at dusk and dawn when caribou are more active near roads.
• Encouraging passengers to watch for caribou.
• Reducing speeds when driving at night when caribou are more difficult to see.
