If you find a dead deer in the road, please call (610) 388-1300 if it is a Township Road, or PennDOT at (484) 340-3200 if it is a State Road.
Deer are active in the area, especially at dawn and dusk. They often dart into roadways and can cause a hazard to even experienced drivers. Please use caution, and urge young drivers to do so, especially when traveling along wooded roads during twilight.
