FENCES FOR PROTECTION OF TRAFFIC AND DEER. SUMMARY

The effect of 12 short wire-net fences built along the road network on deer accidents and on the movement of deer were studied by accident analysis and observation at the test fences. It was found the number of deer accidents decreases if fences are built, but only where the fences are located there was a corresponding increase in the number of accidents at both ends of the short wire-net fences studied. Thus the short wire net fences have no effect on the total number of deer accidents. (TRRL)
