Actually that may be not that accurate. As some individuals learn to cross roads and lower their chance of getting hit.

Like with most animals, the naive get killed in mass.

I live in a area with lots and lots of snakes and cars and roads. Some individuals never get hit. they have been here for long periods, others cannot seem to stay out of the road.

Whether its luck or learning or both, some seem to avoid getting hit. My field partner wanted to do a study on old urban snakes.

Also when we did a some field work on dirt roads, we noticed that some individuals dashed across the road after cars passed, others just meandered and would get hit.
