This is the actual turnoff from Banff to the Highway towards Calgary. Theyhad to build the animals, especially the elk, their own crossing, becausethat was where the natural crossing had been.
After the highway wasbuilt,there were far too many accidents.
I understand it didn't take theanimalslong to learn, that this was their "road" for those that lived, that is.
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 :)
