Building upon previous moose fencing pilots throughout the province, government also committed to continuing to explore moose fencing as a possible measure to help improve safety on provincial highways.
Transportation Minister John Abbott is reaffirming the government's commitment to road safety. Abbott met with representatives of the Save Our People Action Committee (SOPAC) to discuss efforts regarding road safety, particularly as it relates to moose-vehicle collision prevention. Building upon previous moose fencing pilots throughout the province, government also committed to continuing to explore moose fencing as a possible measure to help improve safety on provincial highways. A vegetation suppression program is also being explored, which will help slow growth in areas where brush clearing has occurred.
