Abstract

This paper addresses the identification of areas where wildlife-vehicle collisions mitigation measures can be adopted by the study of collision records for specific road sections on the regional road network in the province of Lugo, Galicia, Northwest Spain in 2006-2007. Accident concentration sections, or areas where wildlife-vehicle collisions are common are identified, and the relationships between species and factors associated with accident levels such as the time of year or day, road characteristics, and the intensity of traffic levels are explored.
