That for every intentional act of herpecide by automobile there are 1000 unintentional acts of the same.

The real fix here is not easy nor cheap, but road ways need to be designed to keep wildlife off the pavement in the first place. Corridors which allow passing underneath roadways coupled with curbs or retaining walls would help a great deal for Reptiles but probably not so much for mammals, and would be expensive.

Still this would seem to be mandatory (to me at least) in cases where habitat and species are sensitive.
If we could find a cost effective and aesthetic way to stop so many animals from being slaughtered on the roads and right of ways we might be up for a serious stewardship award.

The Game Wardens know we move a lot of stuff off the road. As far as I know they don't have a problem with it.
