Deere often travel in groups, so seeing one deer may mean that others are nearby. If you see one deer cross a road or see deer on the roadside, reduce your speed. Be aware of deer crossing signs. The Indiana Department of Transportation posts the warning signs to alert drivers of frequent deer crossing areas. The signs indicate a general area rather than an exact crossing point.
Deer are creatures of habit.
They will cross a road in the same general area time after time. If you see deer at a location one day, there is a great possibility that they will cross in hte same area again. Stay alert when driving in the area. Do not swerve to avoid hitting a deer. State police reports indicate that accidents resulting from loss of control of the vehicle generally are more severe than accidents resulting from an impact with an animal.
