According to one article, these were created so that man and beast could better live in harmony.
Apparently there were many accident expected so this was built to allow the migration without the animals having to cross the highway.

I've been rewatching The West Wing again this week, and (having seen these photos somewhere on the interwebz already) immediately thought of these pics, when this scene came up. Funny coincidence that you'd post them here now!

Neat catch. The advertising on that link may not be for work though.

Possum crossing on the pacific highway:
Koalas pay extra tolls as heavy vehicles, I guess.

Screaming inside ... (yes, yes, they're wildlife and shouldn't have to be flattened by vehicles ... shudder) ...

We have animal underpasses in Victoria and in country New South Wales.
Originally built for dairy farmers who have property on both sides of the major highways, Kangaroos, Wombats and Foxes now use them regularly. There's no roadkill for a good distance on both sides....but they cost an absolute fortune to put in. |
