Motorists are again being warned of the dangers of deer on the roads.
Two teenage girls died last month after their car struck a deer on the A10.
Epping Forest District is now reiterating the need for caution in the area.
A spokesman for the council said: “We ask motorists to be particularly mindful of the potential for deer to run into the roads when driving through or near Epping Forest.
"It is also important to keep disturbance of the deer in Epping Forest to a minimum during the rut, and dogs in particular should be kept under very close control.”
The National Deer-Vehicle Collisions Project has also issued advice.
In a statement it said: "Take note of deer warning signs by driving with caution at or below the posted speed limit. Such signs are positioned only where wildlife crossings are likely.”
