Build it and they will come

This is the actual turnoff from Banff to the Highway towards Calgary.  They had to build the animals, especially the elk, their own crossing, because that was where the natural crossing had been.

After the highway was built, there were far too many accidents.

I understand it didn't take the animals long to learn, that this was their "road" for those that lived, that is.

Elk crossing

There are currently 24 animal crossings in that area and many many more up and down B.C. We are very aware of our animals here and many get hit and we are doing all we can to make that number less :)

That's quite the site though...intelligence at it's most animalistic level ;-)
