“Visitors are asked to respect posted speed limits and no-stopping zones at all times, as well as stay alert and prepared to encounter wildlife at any time, even when driving along fenced sections of the highway. By reducing speeds, driving alertly, and giving wildlife space and respect, you can help reduce wildlife mortality.”

      Look, I’m all for more trains, but a bear isn’t going to fare any better against a train. Especially if you compare braking distances

        But one train is easier to dodge than a bunch of unique cars and drivers. Also trains have a whistle they can blow whenever they’re in high wildlife corridors.
