Minnesota asks drivers to brake for turtles
ST. PAUL, MN
Carol Hall, an agency specialist in amphibians, says many
turtles are killed on roads each year, especially during the
nesting season.
The agency says drivers who see a turtle on the road should slow
down and go around it. The department also says it's best to let
turtles cross unassisted. If it's necessary to help, the department
says to move them in as direct a line as safely possible.
Minnesota has nine turtle species, some of which are protected.
