State
Officials Ask Drivers to Be Alert for Moose
State officials with the
Department of Transportation are reminding drivers to be cautious for moose on
Maine’s roads. Moose are highly active during the spring and more moose
collisions are recorded in June than in any other month during the
year.
Officials urge motorists to stay
alert when driving, especially after dark. They also ask motorists to always use
a seatbelt.
This past
Friday night, Richard and I were driving up Rt 109 and suddenly realized we were
parallel to a MOOSE moving about the same pace we were! They are out there, please be
careful.
