Road ecology blog: Concrete median barriers along the SP 225, São Paulo state, Brazil
Concrete median barriers along the SP 225, near Itirapina, São Paulo state, Brazil. Median barriers reduce the probability of head-on collisions. However, if no safe crossing opportunities are provided to wildlife they can increase the barrier effect of the road and the traffic substantially, perhaps even resulting in an absolute barrier separating wildlife populations.

Some large format prints (limited edition) are now for sale at Freshwater Studio & Gallery in Missoula, Montana.
