New Forest Roads Awareness works to help raise awareness of New Forest Stock. We hope to educate people to drive with care, to protect the New Forest Animals.

With new lives appearing everyday in the New Forest, I cannot Thank this driver from G Farwell Ltd enough. What a great example of how to pass New Forest stock SLOW AND WIDE.

[NFRoadsAwareness @NfRoads]

Who fancies a challenge? Recent events have shown that people still don't know who to call if they are involved or witness an accident with New Forest Stock.
LETS GET THIS THE MOST SHARED POST

The deadliest months for #NewForest livestock are during winter. Please #PassWideAndSlow and #BePreparedToStop on forest roads. 🙏

The realities of using the roads in the New Forest!
You may have to wait before you can pass horses safely but that is what you need to do in order to keep them and yourselves safe. Good to see these drivers doing just that 👍 #SRU

Another driver has been caught doing 80mph on a New Forest road today. Worringly, they also had a young child in the car! For the safety of yourselves, your passengers, animals and other road users please respect the 40mph limit and adjust your speed to the road conditions. #SRU

[Hampshire Roads Policing Unit @HantsPolRoads]

Unbelievably, one of our camera operators caught someone travelling at 83mph in a 40mph zone in the New Forest earlier today. 😨 As there was also a herd of cows around this was particularly dangerous. Heavy rain and animals on the road = slower, careful driving #SRU

[NFRoadsAwareness @NfRoads]

Please do the same for Cattle, Donkeys, Pigs and Sheep. They have no road sense but you do.

Out early supporting @NewForestCops & partners with Op Mountie to reduce collisions with roaming livestock. A number of drivers already stopped for education & enforcement. Local media have also come out to cover the operation & highlight the issues #RSU @NewForestNPA @NfRoads

[The New Forest - Forestry England @EngNewForest]

This winter we’ve been reminding drivers to #DriveToTheConditions on Forest roads. Days of action by @HantsPolice & Forest groups aim to improve road safety & reduce animal deaths & injuries. 100+ drivers have received speeding tickets or notices #BePreparedToStop @HantsPolRoads

[The New Forest - Forestry England @EngNewForest]

This shows #NewForest livestock on the road at night & how unpredictable they can be, especially when startled. Animals have right of way on unfenced forest roads. Would you have seen them & been able to stop in time?

Out working with partners this evening from @NewForestCops @NewForestNPA & @NfRoads. Its part of the ongoing approach to reducing speeds & raising awareness to keep both drivers, vulnerable road users & roaming animals safe. #RSU @HantsPolice @HantsPCC

We want to remind people that animals are on the roads Day and Night. Thanks to Mark Thurston Jones for donating the banner. If you would like to host it for a couple of weeks, Please message us. #drivetotheconditions #expecttheunexpected #bepreparedtostop

[NFRoadsAwareness @NfRoads]

THANK YOU to The Bell Inn for hosting our banner at the Brook. We hope that this will remind more people to drive with care across the whole of the Forest. The CDA have put out salt licks deeper in the Forest to try and reduce the animals that come to lick the salt on the roads.

[Hampshire Roads Policing Unit @HantsPolRoads]

Speeding vehicles were seen travelling at 60mph in 40mph zones in the New Forest yesterday. Unfortunately, a pony was killed. The Forest is not a race track, it is an area that needs careful driving to ensure the safety of all animals and persons that use the roads. #SRU
