Road kills

Article Abstract:

Serious study of road kills would describe exact locations and information about sex, age body condition and number, although precise counts are difficult partly as animals might yield in many ways. Reducing road kills requires approaches aimed both at animals and at drivers, such as culverts under roads, night-time speed limits and reliance on alternative transport, this would not only protect animals but also the road users like pedestrians, cyclists and children.
