Check for traffic around you before steering back onto the pavement.
If you are entering traffic from a driveway or private road, you should yield to drivers already on the public road. Merge safely into traffic when you are able to do so.
This sign warns that deer cross the roadway in the area. You should slow down, be alert, and be ready to stop.
