wildlife crossing
Fauna highway bridge
A wildlife crossing is a structure allowing animals to safely pass over or under roads and railways.
Overpasses are vegetated bridges; underpasses are tunnels or culverts.
They reduce vehicle collisions with animals and help maintain habitat connectivity for migrating species: The new wildlife crossing has cut deer-strike accidents in half.
