Are animals considered a roadway hazard?
Animals are just one type of roadway hazard. From the smallest rodents, raccoons, squirrels, duck families (mom and ducklings), etc., to the largest North American animals, like deer, buck, bears, and elk, animals crossing roadways cause thousands of accidents every year. People are hurt from swerving to try to avoid the animal or group of animals, or from colliding with the animal. If the vehicle hits an animal, it can cause extensive windshield and body damage plus human injury. Also in some States, killing a deer in a roadway accident requires the driver to report the carcass to the State Game Wardens or State Police, to avoid having another driver coming upon a danger. When driving anytime from dusk to dawn, driving near ponds or lakes, driving near State Game Lands/Reserves/Parks, or driving on rural roads, the risks are much higher, but animals even cross major interstates. Drivers must always be alert to these potential dangers.

How many inches of following water across a roadway can virtually float any kind of vehicle?
Approximately 6 inches of moving water can cause most vehicles to float. It is important to avoid driving through standing or moving water on roadways as it can be deeper or more powerful than it appears.
What are pedestrians considered crosswalk or driveway?
Pedestrians must use crosswalks where provided. If no crosswalk, they must stop at the corner and cross corner to corner across the roadway. The driving area is the roadway, whether dirt or paved, private or public.
What should you do if you see an animal in the roadway?
If you see an animal in the roadway, you should slow down and try to safely avoid hitting it. If it is safe to do so, you can also try to shoo the animal away or contact local authorities for assistance. It is important to prioritize your safety and the safety of others on the road when encountering animals in the roadway.
