Beware of caribou while driving on the Northern Peninsula highway

    Caribou are currently active in these areas and the likelihood of caribou-vehicle collisions may increase.

    Motorists on the Northern Peninsula are advised to be cautious when travelling between Plum Point and the St. Anthony Airport, and on the roadway between St. Anthony Airport and the Town of Main Brook. Caribou are currently active in these areas and the likelihood of caribou-vehicle collisions may increase. These animals are expected to remain in the region throughout the fall and winter. Motorists should scan both sides of the highway and avoid driving at dusk and dawn when caribou are more active near roads. Reduce speeds when driving at night when caribou are more difficult to see.
