Warning, Construction & Information SignsStandalone practice
At dusk in the fall, you pass a yellow diamond sign with a black deer symbol. Soon after, a deer crosses the road well ahead of you and runs into the trees. What should you do next?
Correct answer: Slow down and watch for more deer that may follow
Why
Crashes with deer, elk and bears are common in Virginia. Be most alert at dusk and dawn, above all in the fall, and scan the road edges. If a crash cannot be avoided, brake firmly, stay in your lane and do not swerve, because a swerve can cause a worse crash. Report a crash with a large animal to law enforcement.
