What To Do If You Meet A Moose Along Highway
Manitoba Lands and Forest officers advise motorists to slow down in forested areas and treat moose encounters with caution. If you meet a moose, stop and let it move away before continuing. Drive as carefully as in the city, remaining alert for pedestrians and animals. Night driving is especially risky as big game animals feed on plants or the last of winter salt along rough roads. Deer and bear collisions are common in bush country, often causing costly repairs and possible injuries.
