| Abstract. | Recently in Russia and the CIS countries are marked by the release of animals on the road and road traffic accidents associated with the deaths of wild animals on the road. This is due to the fact that at the road blocks the migration routes of animals. The animals are forced to dwell on the closed territory, which leads to their extinction. Abroad, in Europe, the USA, Canada, Australia this problem a long time and successfully is being solved. On the migration routes of animals are arranged transitions, including the landscape bridges, ecoducts, and transitions on the tops of the trees. And the passages which have under the embankment of the road. They are in the form of bridges across gullies, in the form of reinforced concrete pipes of the big rectangular cross-section for large animals. For animals medium-sized use modified reinforced concrete pipes with shelves, and for amphibians – concrete tunnels small cross-section or concrete trays with a metal mesh opening the cover. All the listed facilities fenced metal mesh, plastic or concrete guides, to avoid wild animals on the roadway. These measures allow to reduce the number of road accidents with participation of wild animals on the road, keeping specific population from extinction. |
