Finally something right from the Government.

Sometimes we actually get it right….
　
This is the actual turn-off From Banff, Alberta, Canada
to the #1 highway to Calgary .

Great picture isn't it? They had to build the animals their own
crossing (especially the elk) because that was where
the natural crossing was and after the highway was
built there were far too many accidents.

It didn't take the animals long to learn that this was
their very own bridge!

Dang during hunting season you could just wait for them to come across the bridge and POW, no stomping around in the brush...

You'd then spend the next 10 years in jail. Thats in Banff National park.

But there are a few places elsewhere in BC where that many elk are commonplace and not the national parks.

Well Dang it turns out that the picture is real as are the elk but that is a CP railway bridge that the elk use as their own overpass. Here is a link with a better picture.

I should know better and to check with snopes first.

So what you are saying is that instead of a car hitting one, the Northbound Flier can wipe out the whole herd and make hamburger in one pass without using a grinder...

Put em on a conveyor, fire up coals and hicory in the middle and open a restaruant on the far side. Easy pickins.

There is also on in Arizona I saw. Only this one goes under the hiway. Just south of Flag on 89a.

Exactly what I was thinking, a Big 'ol smoker on the far side, maybe a conveyor belt to move them along at the right speed then on the other side you stand there with a platter and a fork.
