Deer don't generally hang out on busy roads at the best of times. I suspect it has more to do with the roadway being an open area which makes the deer more visible and thus more vulnerable to wolves.
- topspin 5y ago> Deer don't generally hang out on busy roads at the best of times. Deer hang out wherever they find food and cover. If there happen to be busy roads in the vicinity then you find them on busy roads. Busy roads also have lights; deer make use of available illumination. The frequency of deer collisions increases with the full moon because of this[1]. I have a light pole on my property and deer hang out near this. Almost every night I step outside I startle a few; there were two does under it last night.

- goodcanadian 5y agoDeer absolutely hang out on roads. They do not generally hang out on busy roads. Near busy roads, perhaps, but not on them.
