Roe deer-vehicle collisions in Karlovac county (Croatia)

The problem of roe deer- vehicle collisions at the area of Karlovac County has been researched for the period of two years (2006 and 2007). Obtained results describe the frequency of wildlife collisions on several locations, risk of wildlife collisions throughout the seasons and the most critical time of day. Roe deer collisions represent 87 % of all wildlife-vehicle collisions, happened mostly at the area of low inhabitants’ density and caused in more than 50 % by the speed-limit violation. Most roe deer-vehicle collisions have happened on the counties roads through the year during the spring and autumn period at dusk & down time of the day. Special attention is put on preventive measures to reduce the risk of wildlife collisions and the responsibility for the damage in the Republic of Croatia and some EU countries.
