COLLABORATION=============
The Arizona Department of Transportation, the Arizona Game and Fish Department, and several other public and private organizations have partnered to save wildlife and highway drivers from animal-vehicle collisions. The consortium is using GIS technology to identify the locations where deer and elk are apt to cross the road and then installing underpasses at those points. Besides the safety of Arizona s residents and visitors, preventing collisions saves the state money; as the state owns all wildlife, it can be held liable when a collision occurs.
I wonder what is the history of success or failure with these underpasses? Sounds like a good idea but do they actually work? Do the animals learn to use the underpasses?
