Average Reduction: 73%
Remarks: * The number 10 is correct, if misleading. This was a very heavy snow year, the reflectors were buried in snow. Also, the adjacent farmer was feeding the deer in a spot that required them to cross the highway several times each day. It may be considered that there were no reflectors in this area during this time as they were totally non-functional.
