It is time to close the road for salamander crossing

Quote:Is it not possible to do an underpass for them?

An underpass or overpass is possible, but it would be expensive. They only cross the road for a few weeks of the year.
It is easier to close the road. Money for an underpass would be better spent where animals cross the road all year round.

There are a number of places that close roads for mating season. Some places have volunteers that watch a stretch of road when turtles would be crossing.

I know I have come across things like this from other parts of the world.

Underpasses are good, but it would be better if we stopped putting roads in bad places.
Maybe some roads could be moved. Do they really need to run through the middle of a migration route.
