If you find a turtle crossing the road and want to help it cross safely, use these tips: 🐢 Stay safe. Never put yourself at risk! Make sure that you do not endanger yourself, or others, by walking into traffic. 🐢 When safe to do so, pull your car over and onto the shoulder if possible. Turn on your hazard signals. 🐢 When it's safe to enter the roadway, approach the turtle and pick it up by grabbing its shell with both hands between its front and hind legs. HOLD ON – they have strong legs! 🐢

This young motorist demonstrates how to help our native turtles cross the roads! 🐢🐢🐢 Our buddy Enzo here knows that a wild turtle is already in their natural home, and that these critters know where they're going! Help them cross the road in the SAME way they're already traveling, that way they can continue their journey safely. 💚 #helpturtlescrosstheroad #cute #easternboxturtle #boxturtles #turtles | Southwest Virginia Wildlife Center of Roanoke
