Do wildlife crossings actually work?
Well-designed wildlife crossings paired with directional fencing cut wildlife-vehicle collisions by 95–100% for large mammals at monitored sites — and the movement is global, with the world's largest crossing (Wallis Annenberg, over LA's ten-lane 101) opening this December.
Banff National Park proved the model with ~40 crossings since the 1980s. The US federal pilot program has $350M funded with proposals up to $1B, 85% of Colorado residents want more of them, and in April 2026 Sumatra recorded the first orangutan ever documented using a crossing.
