Motorists have been warned after two close calls with ducklings and drivers in two days on busy Perth freeways.

Main Roads real time traffic coordinator John Venables said the good intentions of the public had led to the separation of the mother duck and her ducklings.

"We don't encourage people, with all the best intentions, to get out of their vehicle and try and catch ducks on the freeway, we did have a minor crash as a result of this, of cars stopping, and the last thing we need is one of the motorists getting hit by a car and injured or, worse, killed ... we put warning signs up to tell people to slow down," he told Gareth Parker on 6PR Breakfast.
