I found such a photo on the Internet and became interested in what function such a structure could perform.

    Looks like a nice choke point for a predator to hang about.

      Possibly but I’d think it’s still safer than vehicles and less disruptive to overall migration for a given species.

      I wonder if there’s been any studies showing how effective, if at all, these are.

      It’s taken into consideration of the design of these crossings.

        I’d like to read about that,understand how it’s done. it’s a thought I have whenever I see them but of course the professionals designing them would have thought about it.

          IIRC they just hire someone to sit there and say “shoo” at any potential predators

            How can I get this job? I’m almost 40 and I haven’t been eaten by a mountain lion yet. 100% success. I’m qualified.
