Yates Sheriff Warns Drivers to Be Cautious of Deer
Drivers in Yates County are being urged to stay alert as deer become more active on local roads, according to the Sheriff's Office.
This time of year is considered one of the most dangerous for deer-related crashes. Deer crossing signs are posted in areas with frequent animal movement, but officials warn that deer can appear anywhere, especially near wooded or rural roads.
- Most deer-vehicle accidents happen between October and December.
- The riskiest times are from sunset to midnight, and the hours just before and after sunrise, when deer are on the move and visibility is low.
Staying alert even outside marked zones can help prevent sudden encounters.
