"This area was getting about one deer hit a day" Relative to how many didn't get hit, what's the percentage there?

  I'm curious about the POV you're coming from. I don't think the number of deer who don't get hit is relevant to the math on injury prevention, traffic prevention, and ongoing operational and property damage costs.

    Well, yes; for that you need the number of cars that that don't hit a deer. :)

      No you don't. You only need total costs of accidents before and after this crossing.

    its to gauge the true need to build an overpass in the first place... like imagine the extreme case of a 50% hit rate. In that case building an overpass is completely unjustified, since after the second day the problem is gone
