미국의 로드킬 예방을 위한 가이드 내용 가운데 일부를 번역하였습니다.
Driving tips to avoid collisions with wildlife:
운전도중 야생동물과 부딫히지 않기 위해서 주의할 사항
• The eyes of deer, elk and other wildlife actually shine (or reflect back) in vehicle headlights, allowing drivers to see their eyes in the darkness. Keep on the lookout for animals along the road at night.
밤에 자동차 헤드라이트를 켜 놓고 운전하게 되면 야생동물의 눈이 빛나게 됩니다. 때문에 밤에 이를 기억하고 운전하면 위험을 예방할 수 있습니다.
• You are more likely to encounter wildlife on highways prior to a storm and on days where there is fresh snow on the roads. Be sure to drive slowly during these road conditions.
폭풍우 전야 혹은 길에 눈이 살짝 내렸을 때 대개 야생동물들이 자주 출현합니다. 이 때에는 서행을 해야하겠습니다.
• If you see one elk or deer along the roadway, you are likely to see more since they tend to travel in groups, not individually. They also follow the same migration and feeding travel routes each year, so when you see one dead animal expect to see more. The Skyline Hill on highway 89, just northwest of town is a frequent crossing place for elk and deer.
한 두마리의 야생동물을 보게 되면 주의를 해야 합니다. 왜냐하면 대개 이들을 무리를 지어서 이동하기 때문에 계속해서 출현할 가능성이 있기 때문입니다.
• More elk are killed on highway 89 south than the rest of the county. Elk, deer and moose also travel along heavily vegetated corridors like the Teton Village Road between Tucker Ranch and Teton Pines. Expect them crossing in these areas.
• To avoid hitting wildlife with your vehicle, you must always watch the sides of the road and be on the alert for animals trying to cross. Be aware of the "hot spots" in the valley and be particularly alert in those areas.
야생동물들이 자주 출현하는 지역들이 있습니다. 해당 지역을 지날 때에는 주의해야 하겠습니다.
• If you see a moose on the road and try out driving it, you will deplete its vital energy reserves and you could cause the death of that animal without even hitting it. If possible, let the animal move off the road or slow down and pass carefully. Never try to outrun it.
야생동물들을 보았을 때 불필요하게 그들을 자극하지 마시기 바랍니다. 가능하면 그들에게 양보하고 조심해서 피해 가시기 바랍니다.
• Keep in mind that on dry pavement going 55 mph you can stop within 300 feet, but on icy pavement it takes 500 feet to stop. This may partially account for the fact that the number of moose killed by automobiles in the winter, is double the number killed in the summer
겨울에는 길이 얼어 있기 때문에 속도를 급감하기가 어렵습니다. 조심해서 운전해야 하겠습니다.
• The range of an average car headlight is only 200 to 250 feet. In order to avoid hitting animals at night, you should slow down to 40-45 mph on dry pavement and to 30 mph on icy pavement if you want to be able to stop.
헤드라이트가 비추는 거리는 제한되어 있습니다. 이를 고려하여 밤에는 과속을 피해야 하겠습니다.
• If you hit an animal, call the Sheriff's office or the Wyoming Game and Fish Department and help prevent needless suffering.
야생동물을 치었을 경우에는 관할 구청이나 혹은 도로공사측에 연락을 하시기 바랍니다. 때로는 치명적으로 부상당한 동물을 빠르게 안락사해야하는 경우도 있습니다.
• Wildlife are most active and most often seen on the road at dawn and dusk, in their search for food and water. These poor lighting conditions affect your ability to see animals attempting to cross the road, so it’s very important to slow down at these times of day. The greatest numbers of deer are killed by automobiles at dusk and dawn. The majority of elk and moose are killed at night.
야생동물들은 주로 새벽 그리고 해가 질 때에 자주 출현하고 흙과 먼지가 많은 도로에 자주 나타납니다. 이들은 먹이와 물을 찾아서 나온 것입니다. 만일 이때 불빛을 비추게 되면 이들은 갑자기 도로를 건너게 될 수도 있습니다. 그래서 이러한 것을 매우 주의해야 합니다.
• It’s important to remember that many people have been killed, and many others have been seriously injured in vehicle collisions with bison, elk, moose, deer and other wildlife. Protect yourself and your property by driving cautiously and watching out for wildlife on all County roads.
사고로 인해서 야생동물뿐만이 아닌 사람이 다치거나 사망할 수도 있습니다. 때문에 항시 주의하면서 운전을 해야 하겠습니다.
