Lots of animals get killed crossing roads every year. This results in lots of dead animals, damaged cars, injured or dead people, and lots of clean up costs. Why not make it easier for animals to safely cross roads thus reconnecting splintered habitat and saving lives and money?

Great idea! Let’s do end roadkill….and it can be done, too. This spring I drove coast to coast across Canada. In New Brunswick, crossing through more than a hundred miles of very wild country on the main highway, there was NO roadkill at all. Why? Because they had erected tall, tight fencing on both sides of the freeway that kept the fox, wolves, coons, deer, bear and moose from getting out onto the highway. Great idea and it works.
On the ride home, going through a somewhat similar highway in southern Michigan, there was an average of one dead deer each mile, and so many dead skunks, coons, rabbits and so on…such a waste.
Once driving across Oklahoma I counted over 300 roadkilled turtles in a 10 mile section. Not cool at all.
