This signage includes but is not limited to warnings for drivers to slow down, yield, and be aware of potential hazards.

What Happens When an Animal Causes Another Driver to Injure You?
Wild animals can cause traffic accidents for a variety of reasons. Animals may dart out into the road without warning, suddenly causing drivers to swerve or a brake.

In some areas, animals may be fleeing from wildfires or other natural disasters and crossroads in large numbers, increasing the chances of an accident. Deer and other animals are often active at dawn and dusk when visibility is low, and drivers may have difficulty spotting them.
