The big sign is meant to call your attention to the dangers of hitting a moose- particularly when travelling in the Luskville area.
Securite Publique MRC des Collines de l’Outaouais reminds you that driver vigilance can avoid unnecessary accidents.
Travel at the posted speed limit, and visually scan the road ahead from side-to-side as you never know when danger will be confronted.
Although moose are large animals, when standing on a roadway they can appear as shadowy slivers until the point of impact, so extra care is warranted.
Collisions are more frequent in the months of June and July- and, in the autumn, during October and November.
