Animal Crossings: It's About Time

When we were driving through France and Germany a couple of years ago, we noticed something that we really liked. Every few miles along the freeways we would see an animal overpass, built especially for large animal passage across a busy highway.

Now I see that Wyoming has built a few of its own, to allow for the annual migrations of pronghorns and other large animals to pass over the freeways without being mowed down by passing vehicles -- which mostly go in excess of 80 MPH. Come on, it's fucking Wyoming -- who wouldn't want to drive across it as fast as they could?

So way to go, Wyoming. There may be hope for you yet.

Update: And then we have this from Fargo: Fargo woman completely missing the point behind deer-crossing signs. Go figure.
