  Have they had better luck with wildlife crossings since 2016? https://transportation.libguides.com/c.php?g=849313&p=6075361 https://transportation.libguides.com/c.php?g=849313&p=607536...

  Slowing speeds would work

    I don't know reindeer but white tailed deer, possums, raccoons, rabbits, and nocturnal birds don't care how fast you're going. As someone else mentioned, you can be stopped and they'll run into your vehicle. None of these animals instincts prepared them for the cacophony and lightshow of transportation. Everyone doing 15mph might solve 90% though, but I'll let that be your running platform.

      But lower speeds do make crashes a lot less deadly. Probably also less probable, as people have more time to react

  It doesn't follow that because the number didn't go down, that means the efforts did or didn't help. You need to think of the overall picture, are there other factors causing it to increase and would the number have been even higher without these efforts? The simple fact of the number not going down, doesn't really say much.
