CONCORD, NH – The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department reminds motorists to be extra cautious while admiring the autumn foliage from Granite State roadways because moose are active and on the move. While moose/vehicle collisions can happen at all times of the year, fall is a time of increased moose activity and therefore accidents.
To avoid a moose collision, especially in the North Country where moose are more prevalent:
• Observe posted speed limits and avoid excessive speeds which reduce collision reaction time—especially at night, dusk, and dawn.
• Use high beams when possible.
• Drive slowly enough to be able to stop within the zone of your headlights.
• Watch for moose by scanning the sides of roads as you drive.
• If you see a moose on the side of the road, you should expect it to run in front of you so slow down.
