The toad didn't cross the road because he had a brand new tunnel to take him safely under the road.
Be sure and look at the video. There are lots of toads going under the road. I am sure going under is more natural to them anyhow. It is wet and cooler under the road. It is hot and dry on top.

Now we just need a few thousand of these tunnels in other places where little animals get killed because our roads do not respect their boundaries.
It just feels good to know that is one place toads are safe.
I bet they share the tunnel with other animals.
