Target Completion Date: October 1, 2018 Environment, Planning, and Economics
Following recommendations from an earlier VTRC study, in 2015 VDOT began to post animal advisory messages on the changeable message signs along I-64 in the Afton Mountain area in response to observations of frequent deer-vehicle collisions (DVCs) and high roadside deer activity in this area, particularly in the fall months. A followup limited scope study was recently conducted that suggested this approach might have had a positive impact on vehicle speeds and DVCs. The purpose of the study is to conduct more extensive analysis of speed and crash data on this segment of I-64 to more conclusively determine the effects that the deer advisory messages have on reducing DVCs.
