It reminds me of a time when just as I turned a sharp corner going uphill There was a Bull Elk in the middle of the road guarding his harem as they were crossing it. Luckily the hill and turn made me go slow at the time so I could stop before my car was customed by crunch.
Wildlife overpasses work because most animals will not enter the wildlife tunnels that were popular in the past. They avoid enclosed spaces. Some of the overpasses are even planted with grass and shrubs.

I’ve always wondered how the deer know to cross at the deer crossing sign.

Having had one tangle with a deer in our family while driving, I’m really wishing that was a real thing!

Utah built a bridge for the deer, bears, and bobcats to cross a highway. It seems to work. Perhaps more states could do this in more places.

In the UK, they have “zebra crossings”, so-called because there are black and white stripes on the crosswalk.

How does the crossing guard do his job when he has that “deer in the headlights” look?
