Despite the numerous road signs, the increasing number of animal roadkills keeps on increasing each year. Ever since road systems were constructed, animals have been exposed to danger from moving from one place to another. 16 Wildlife crossings are in the form of bridges, overpasses and underpass tunnels. 17 With these safe routes, wild animals won’t have to access the busy roads and highways anymore.
