Wildlife overpass cut vehicle-animal collisions by 91%, report finds * "The Colorado department of transportation said before the overpass system was built, there was an average of one wildlife-vehicle crash a day in this corridor...Now, the Colorado department of transportation says it is hoping to build other wildlife crossings across the state." >> https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/oct/19/colorado-wildlife-overpass-vehicle-animal-collisions-results * Wildlife overpasses should be a mandatory 'cost of doing business' for all roads, highways or so called freeways. Unless, of course where they have removed, rerouted, or converted major highways and roads into public spaces, parks, and waterways. (Paris, Boston, Seoul, Utrecht, Rochester and Tokyo). Unthinkable in bio-diverse NSW. #roads #wildlife #biodiversity #SacrificeZone #cars #crashes #RoadTrauma #WildlifeOverpass #biodiversity #PacificHighway #NSW #MobilityDesign #MobilityForAll
