Moose Stray onto Wrong Side of Wildlife Barrier on E45

Traffic on the E45 highway between Rottneros and Sunne has been disrupted due to moose being spotted on the wrong side of the wildlife barrier. This unusual occurrence raises concerns for both animal safety and road users.

The presence of moose in areas where they are not typically found can lead to hazardous situations, particularly for drivers. Authorities are urging caution for those traveling along this stretch of road. Moose collisions can result in serious accidents, making it essential for drivers to remain vigilant.

Wildlife barriers are designed to minimize the interaction between animals and vehicles, reducing the likelihood of accidents. However, when animals find themselves on the wrong side, it poses a risk not only to the animals but also to motorists who may not expect to encounter wildlife in those areas.

The Traffic Agency has been notified of the situation and is advising drivers to exercise caution. They are also looking into the circumstances that led to the moose being on the incorrect side of the barrier. Regular monitoring of wildlife barriers is crucial to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.

Local residents and wildlife enthusiasts are encouraged to report any sightings of moose near roadways to help authorities manage the situation effectively. Reports of wildlife in close proximity to highways will assist in implementing better safety measures for both animals and drivers.

As the situation develops, updates will be provided to ensure public safety and awareness. Motorists are reminded to stay alert, particularly in areas known for wildlife crossings, and to follow any directives issued by traffic management.
