These are great for wildlife as they provide a safe crossing over high-speed highways. They are usually design to be in already existing migration paths where moving a proposed highway may not work and not disrupting migration paths is of importance.

They are called 'faunaducts'.

Haven't heard that term, it's usually called "ecoduct" over here.

They'd use it a lot more of it was covered in trees. If you want animals to avoid something, make it easy for them to be seen.

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 15 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Probably difficult to grow trees on there, since their roots can't go very deep, but yeah, could have a lot more bushes.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Seem to be planted and growing on the sides. Not sure why they wouldn't plant the whole thing, especially with forests on both sides. This kind of defeats the purpose of the overpass.

adding "trees" might also help. just build something that gives shelter. though I think the people that build those things probably thought about it more than I did.

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 months ago

Hmm, I would have thought those on the sides to also be bushes. They're at least tiny compared to the trees on the right side of the picture. But yeah, hard to tell with how pixelated it is...

Sorry if dumb but, why dont predators just camp the choke points?

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 10 points 3 months ago

That would only work for apex predators, or they'd also get camped. Humans would probably camp any other apex predator that started camping there. The game balance is fairly good except for the Human class.
