“One wonders how many deer have to die, cars have to be wrecked or totaled and injuries have to be sustained in order for UDOT to do something as simple, cost-effective and basic as putting up signs to help prevent these collisions and the destruction of our wildlife,” writes Maximilian Werner.

If UDOT and the state can’t see their way clear to do something as simple and basic as this, what hope can we have in their ability to address truly complicated problems?

During the winter months in particular, it seems a week does not go by when I don’t see a dead deer or two laying twisted and mangled in the road, gutter, or on the sidewalk, where they will often remain for days before the state collects them. In light of the convergence of all these variables, taking preventative measures would seem like a no-brainer. At first blush, UDOT would seem to agree., “UDOT is committed to safety, and we won’t rest until we achieve zero crashes, zero injuries and zero fatalities. Zero is the only acceptable goal.

Regardless, one wonders how many deer have to die, cars have to be wrecked or totaled and injuries have to be sustained in order for UDOT to do something as basic and, I suspect, cost-effective as putting up signs to help prevent these collisions and the destruction of our wildlife., in part, they claim, to boost mule deer numbers, and yet UDOT can’t even put up a couple signs?
