Wildlife Connectivity Guidance
  • Wildlife Connectivity Guidance
    This overview provides an introduction and background to wildlife escape measures, wildlife funnel fencing, and wildlife passage structures. This document also includes a case study on State Route 260.

Wildlife Escape Measures
  • Wildlife Escape Measures
    The wildlife escape measures listed below are designed to allow animals to escape from getting caught within existing roadway fenced corridors. In this way, these measures will help reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions and sustain existing wildlife connectivity patterns of movement in the state. Details A through F, which are explained the Description of Wildlife Escape Measures text, are engineering drawings to help the project manager include the appropriate wildlife escape measure during final design.
  • Detail A (One-Way Gate)
  • Detail B (Large In-Line Wood Plank Ramp)
  • Detail C (Large Corner Wood Plank Ramp)
  • Detail D (Large In-Line Concrete Ramp)
  • Detail E (Small Escape Ramps)
  • Detail F (Slope Jumps)
Wildlife Funnel Fencing
  • Wildlife Funnel Fencing  
    Fencing that serves to funnel wildlife toward passage structures is critical to promoting highway passage. The wildlife measures listed below are suggested fencing to funnel wildlife across highway corridors with the aim of reducing wildlife-vehicle collisions. Details A through H, which are explained in the Wildlife Funnel Fencing text, are engineering drawings to help the project manager include the appropriate wildlife funneling measure during final design.
  • Detail A (ROW Fence with Standard Game Fence)
  • Detail B (Standard Wildlife Fence)
  • Detail C (Retrofit Barbed Wire Wildlife Fence)
  • Detail D (Extension Retrofit Barbed Wire Wildlife Fence)
  • Detail E (Elk Rock Fence Alternative)
  • Detail F (Tortoise Fence Specs)
  • Detail G (Horned Lizard Fence Specs)
  • Detail H (ROW Fence Wildlife Crossing PVC Sleeves)
  • Detail I (Goat Bar Detail)
Wildlife Crossing Structure Handbook
  • Wildlife Crossing Structure Handbook  
    This handbook provides technical guidance and best management practices on the planning and design of wildlife crossing mitigation measures; for transportation and other stakeholder agencies.
Arizona's Wildlife Linkages
  • Arizona's Wildlife Linkages
    These ADOT Web pages, which includes a handy map, should be used to determine if the proposed roadway improvement project has any identified wildlife linkages within the project limits.
