Why did the bear cross the road?

I think they are starting to build tunnels and overpasses for wildlife in a lot of places. It is the only solution. The roads cut off populations and promote serious inbreeding. Worse in places like Banff along the Trans Canada Highway the death toll was alarming.

Finally we are using some sense and it is working.

Trans Canada Highway: We are a very wide country and we have only one major highway that goes across the country. There are secondary highways for some parts, but there is only one Trans Canada.

So I have been travelling The Highway and ran into someone who lives on my street. If you are going east-west in a remote area, there is really only one way to go.
