Description

The primary goal of the Alberta Wildlife Watch Program is to improve driver safety and minimize the impacts of highways on wildlife by reducing animal-vehicle collisions (AVCs). This guideline (one of several departmental guidelines to offer a consistent approach to AVC mitigation planning) outlines the steps consultants for Transportation and Economic Corridors must complete when preparing an AVC mitigation plan. The Guideline is organized in steps to standardize the mitigation planning process. These steps will help the consultant to build their understanding of the AVC conflict at regional and/or local scales and to develop the most cost-effective mitigation design that can meet the mitigation objectives.

Wildlife exclusion fences prevent wild animals from entering onto a roadway and reduce or eliminate the potential for animal-vehicle collisions. Exclusion fencing also guides wildlife to a safer crossing such as an underpass or overpass. The purpose of this guideline is to promote the effective design of animal-vehicle collision on provincial highways and should be used by consultants when preparing an animal-vehicle collision mitigation plan with a wildlife exclusion fence for Alberta Transportation and Economic Corridors.
