    Maryland Drivers Face Heightened Deer Collision Risks as Mating Season Peaks

    Maryland officials are warning drivers of a sharp increase in deer activity on roadways. The annual white-tailed deer mating season is now underway. This period sees a significant spike in vehicle collisions.

    The Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has issued a public safety alert. Shorter days trigger increased deer movement as they search for mates. Motorists must exercise extreme caution, especially at dawn and dusk.

    Understanding Peak Danger Times and Deer Behavior

    The fall breeding season, or “rut,” makes deer behavior unpredictable. They cross roads without warning at all hours. According to Reuters, deer-vehicle collisions peak dramatically during this period.

    Deer often travel in small groups. If one crosses the road, others are likely to follow immediately. Slowing down is crucial when you spot a deer near the roadway.

       

    Essential Safety Tips to Prevent Collisions

    The DNR provides clear guidelines for driver safety. First, be most attentive during early morning and evening hours. These are the times of highest deer activity.

    If a deer enters the road, do not swerve. Swerving can cause a more serious crash with another vehicle or object. Instead, brake firmly and stay in your lane.

    Always slow down in areas marked with deer crossing signs. Use your high beams when possible to illuminate the eyes of deer on the road shoulders. Staying alert is your best defense.

    The heightened risk of deer collisions requires immediate driver awareness. Following these simple safety steps can prevent accidents and save lives. Stay vigilant throughout this active deer mating season.

    When is deer mating season in Maryland?

    The peak breeding season for white-tailed deer occurs in the fall. It typically runs from late October through November. This is when collision risks are highest.

    What should I do if I see a deer while driving?

    Slow down immediately and proceed with caution. Flash your headlights to warn other drivers. Be prepared for more deer to follow the first one.

    What time of day are deer most active?

    Deer are most active at dawn and dusk. Their movements are crepuscular. However, during the rut, they can be active at any time.

    What should I do if I hit a deer?

    Pull over to a safe location and call the police. Do not approach the injured animal. Contact your insurance company to report the incident.

    Why do deer suddenly run into the road?

    During mating season, deer are focused on finding mates. This makes them less aware of traffic dangers. They can be startled and bolt unpredictably.
