Bison Awareness 
 
 Picture of Bison crossing the Highway in front of a Car  Each year, collisions with wildlife, particularly bison, causes vehicle damage and injuries. The period from August through November is the most dangerous for bison collisions, particularly along Highways 3 and 5. Bison can also be found on and alongside Highway 7.

Most bison collisions are preventable. There are a number of things you can do to reduce your risk.
  1. Check road bulletins before departing;
  2. Slow down, especially after dusk;
  3. Avoid distractions - give driving your full attention;
  4. Do not drive if you need rest.
