Mirrors cut moose fatalities
















Small mirrors hung alongside a major highway are proving highly effective at keeping wildlife off the road and preventing accidents. Moose aren't the only animals being spared.

The use of mirrors has been so successful at eliminating collisions between animals and cars, that the national railroad agency is interested in adopting the practice to keep wildlife off train tracks.
Not a single collision involving vehicles and wildlife has been recorded in the area since the mirrors were hung.
