Preferred design alternative for Sterling Highway safety corridor introduced at town hall

Do wildlife crossings on highways reduce crashes?

Yes. Studies show that wildlife crossings can decrease animal-vehicle collisions by roughly 90%, making highways safer for people and animals. Dramatic reductions in crashes have been reported in Colorado, Wyoming, Florida and Canada, among other locations that use wildlife crossings.   Aside from the dangers animals face from vehicle traffic, highways fragment their habitat, inhibit migration and decrease the genetic diversity required for adap…
