Hasan Abbasnijad, the head of the Qazvin District Environmental Protection Department, said on June 30, “It is necessary to install signs indicating the passage of wild animals on a number of intercity roads in Qazvin District.
It will reduce the number of animal collisions and deaths,” he said.
According to him, Iran’s roads do not have the necessary standards for the passage of wild animals. A number of such cases depend on the behavior of wild animals. Because they are cold-blooded, snakes lie on the road in hot areas where the nights are cold, as they absorb the heat of the asphalt, and thus cars pass over them.
