These negative human-wildlife interactions cause significant vehicle damage (even injury/death) for the human, and even more significant injury (almost hopefully quick death) for the wildlife. Signs didn&#8217;t work (enough) For years there have been &#8220;massive signs&#8221; saying watch for wildlife, [...]]]></description>
