Georgia Deer Season and Earlier Darkness Raise Motor Vehicle Accident Risks for Alpharetta Drivers
Georgia officials say deer are more active through late December, and earlier darkness can leave commuters with less time to react.
Georgia’s peak deer movement season and the end of daylight saving time are increasing roadway safety concerns for drivers in Alpharetta and North Fulton County.
Georgia wildlife officials say deer are more active during the fall breeding season, which usually lasts from October through late December.
The time change puts more commuters on the road at dawn and dusk, when white-tailed deer are especially active.
Officials advise drivers not to swerve suddenly; they should slow down, stay in their lane when possible, and brake firmly.
