a structure built over or under roads to help animals safely cross from one side to the other
Example
The new highway project includes several wildlife crossings to protect local wildlife populations.
Many wildlife crossings are constructed to reduce accidents involving animals and vehicles on highways.
Wildlife crossings are designed with natural elements to encourage animals to use them instead of crossing dangerous roads.
Drivers are urged to be cautious near wildlife crossings, especially during dawn and dusk when animals are most active.
Research shows that well-placed wildlife crossings can significantly decrease collisions between vehicles and wildlife.
