Recreational Co‐Use of Wildlife Crossing Structures

There is growing pressure to build crossing structures that facilitate the movement of both people and wildlife across roads. In this chapter, we focus primarily on recreational co-use of wildlife crossing structures, specifically hikers, runners, cyclists and horse riders. This pressure to install co-use structures is most apparent in and around cities and towns and in recreational ares where trails are obstructed by roads. There is little knowlegde to determine the appropriateness and design of such co-use, but preliminary findings and information gleaned from other sources are instructive.
