Wildlife fencing and newer detection systems are producing positive results in other parts of Ontario, but no plans to install them on this notoriously dangerous stretch of highway
The Ministry of Transportation says a detection system that was installed at the bottom of Mile Hill along Highway 17 to alert motorists to the presence of moose and other wildlife has since been decommissioned due to “several mechanical and technological challenges.”
“The system did not result in a clear reduction of wildlife collisions and its effectiveness was inconclusive,” the ministry said in an email to SooToday. “Our government remains committed to keeping roads safe across our province, including in the north. A reminder that a wildlife warning sign is a yellow diamond-shaped sign. The sign warns of a hazard ahead, and advises drivers to be cautious.”
