Supplementary Notes 16. Abstract Animal-vehicle collisions affect human safety, property and wildlife. The number of these types of collisions has increased substantially over the last decades. This report describes the results of a project that explored the prospects for a relatively new mitigation measure to reduce animal-vehicle collisions: animal detection systems. Animal detection systems use high tech equipment to detect large animals when they approach the road. Once a large animal is detected, warning signs are activated urging drivers to reduce the speed of their vehicles, be more alert, or both. Lower vehicle speed and increased alertness may then lead to fewer and less severe collisions with such animals as deer (Odocoileus sp.), elk (Cervus elaphus) or moose (Alces alces). This report documents Phase I of the project (October 1999 - December 2005). The report identifies existing animal detection system technologies and their vendors; describes the selection of two experimental detection systems and their installation at two field sites; documents the experiences with planning and design, installation, operation and maintenance; documents test results on the reliability of the two systems; documents system acceptance; and provides advice for the future development and application of animal detection systems. 17.

My girlfriend (Katie) and I were on our way back to West Yellowstone from the MNA Conference in Big Sky when we came upon a thunderstorm being lit up by the setting sun. The colors were amazing, so we pulled off the road to get some photos. I realized the battery in my camera was dead, so I grabbed Katie’s camera, put my lens on it, grabbed a tripod and climbed down the embankment to the Gallatin River to grab a few shots. I think I took around 20-30 photos and I happened to get lucky with one that had a lightning strike in it.

One big truck = 10,000 cars! 10 11 The road surface… • Lots of small aggregate (stones) to provide strength with a shape that will lock stones together to support wheels • Sufficient “fines,” the binder that will lock the stones together, to keep the stones from moving around 12 • The stone: hard and uniform in size and more angular than that made just from screening bank run gravel 13 • A proper combination of correctly sized broken rock, sand and silt/clay soil materials will produce a road surface that hardens into a strong and stable crust that forms a reasonably impervious “roof” to our road • An improper balance- a surface that is loose, soft & greasy when wet, or excessively dusty when dry (see samples) 14 One way to judge whether gravel will pack or not… 15 Here’s another way… 16 Or: The VeryFine test The sticky palm test As shown in the Camp Roads manual 17 • “Dirty” gravel packs but does not drain • “Clean” gravel drains but does not pack 18 Other road surfacing materials: • Rotten Rock- traditional surfacing material in the Mt Washington Valley
