Sounds like good technology and effective at crossing zones.

"A wildlife detection system developed by Sloan’s company – Sloan Security Technologies of Boise – could make the road safer for both people and animals. It uses Doppler radar to spot animals approaching the roadway. The detection sets off flashing lights on a warning sign, alerting drivers to slow down. "

And many people would ignore anyway as they careen down the hiway?

There is one near Golden on Hwy 6.

Here is a video, can't see the yellow light from the angle though.

I think the fence along the road guides them to the crossing.

Oh, so fencing is part of the system. I think Evergreen with its large herds crossing Hiway 74 could benefit from it. So could ParkCO near the cemetery just above the light. Systems as low as $15,000 seems doable if they really could implement for that cost. However unless there is a lot of high fencing herding them there seems to be lots of possibility of accidents elsewhere along the hiway.

:sarcasm: Folks, before we go and throw a bunch of money and resources at this problem let's consider that the solution could be as simple as just moving the signs to safer locations...

I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

I wonder if it will attract the predators to those locations.
