Florida SR 100, near Palatka, extended bridge for black bear, otter, white tailed deer.
Extends the 100 year floodplain.

Key deer, Key Largo, Florida.

Key deer deaths sign.
Florida informs residents of the death count of the endangered key deer on the highway. Two passages have been installed for the deer to pass under the roadway. They have been documented passing deer.

Florida's Paynes Prairie Wildlife wall and underpasses along SR 441.
Wall is intended to prevent reptiles and amphibians from entering road right of way. This two mile stretch of road through a state preserve's wet prairie has 8 box culverts to allow aquatic and terrestrial species movement. Highly successful in keeping wildlife from getting killed on road. Study found a ~97% reduction of wildlife carcasses on road.

Wildlife overpass - Land Bridge, over Interstate 75, Ocala Florida.
Overpass constructed in the previous year. Used by equestrians, which can be viewed in the distance. Wildlife use has been documented.

Wildlife and Roads

A resource for mitigating the effects of roads on wildlife using wildlife crossings such as overpasses, underpasses, and crosswalks.

This resource can be used to address the issues associated with wildlife corridors, habitat fragmentation, wildlife-vehicle collisions involving deer, elk, moose, bighorn sheep, carnivores, amphibians and reptiles, and small mammals, and other animals, and other road ecology issues.
