      Sorry to say I’ve been in more states than not, and I’ve never encountered one. To be fair, my kids attend public school in trailers, so, you know, I don’t think the deer are gonna be getting amenities any time soon, but who knows?

        From Wikipedia:

        In the United States, thousands of wildlife crossings have been built in the past 30 years, including culverts, bridges, and overpasses.

        The source article is from 2003.

      Interesting, as a European I haven’t seen them that much in countries I visited (France, Spain, Italy)

        They’re very common in the Netherlands, at least

          Might be their tallest land features!

              Could be worse. Denmark is similarly flat, but has a manmade ski hill…built on top of a trash heap. They’ve got it worse for “goofy attempts at raising their maximum elevation”

                The Netherlands sincerely considered building an artificial mountain just so we could have ONE, but discarded it because it wasn’t goedkoop

                Which is the most Dutch fact I knot, closely followed by “you can cycle from the north of Groningen to the south of (Dutch) Limburg in just under a day”

        You see them in lots of locations in Germany as well as the Netherlands and France

      We have a big one here in WA! I do want more of them, though. Makes the highway look prettier, too.

      Im in the US and the county forest preserve system has the opposite for the deer. Tunnels under the roads. People could use them to but they tend to get muddy. I wish it was more like this.

        From the case studies I we had to read in Enviro science, the tunnels don’t really work unfortunately
