SUMMARY: As autumn approaches, deer activity increases on Mississippi roads, prompting the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) to urge motorists to be cautious.

MDOT Executive Director Brad White emphasizes the importance of alertness, particularly during dawn and dusk when deer are most active. Key safety tips include avoiding distractions, braking firmly if a deer appears, and staying vigilant in areas where deer are known to roam. Motorists should prioritize safety by wearing seat belts and driving responsibly.
