Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) is warning motorists that
collisions between deer and vehicles increase in certain parts
of Scotland at this time of year. Car accidents involving deer
peak, as the clocks turn back. With the nights starting earlier,
the peak commuting time coincides with deer coming out to feed
on grass verges near roadsides. SNH, in conjunction with
Transport Scotland and Traffic Scotland, are placing warning
messages on electronic variable messaging signs. From Monday of
this week to Monday, 14 November, the signs will warn motorists
at key locations on the main trunk roads across West and
Northwest Scotland. These messages will be seen on signs on the
A9, A87, A82 and the A835. The latest deer-vehicle collisions
research shows there are more than 7000 deer-related accidents
