Clock change raises risk of car-wildlife collisions at dawn and dusk

Original: Clock change poses higher risk for car-wildlife collisions at dawn, dusk

Reports warn that the shift to and from daylight saving time increases the danger of vehicle collisions with wildlife. The clock change pushes commuter travel closer to dawn and dusk, when animals such as deer and elk are most active on or near roads. Drivers are being urged to stay alert during reduced-visibility hours as darker mornings and evenings coincide with peak wildlife movement.

Why now: The daylight saving time change has shifted commute hours into peak dawn and dusk wildlife activity, raising awareness of collision risks.
