Beware of caribou on Northern Peninsula roadways

    Scan both sides of the highway, avoid driving at dusk and dawn, and reduce speeds when driving at night. 

    Motorists on the Northern Peninsula are advised to use extreme caution on the roadway due to caribou. It’s in an area between Eddies Cove East, Cooks Harbour and the St. Anthony Airport, as well as St. Anthony to Main Brook (Routes 430 and 432).

     A significant number of animals have been using the roads at these locations recently. As winter approaches, more animals will be attracted to road salt on the roads, further increasing chances of traffic collisions. Scan both sides of the highway, avoid driving at dusk and dawn, and reduce speeds when driving at night.
