Deadliest roads for animals in California
By Robert Kuo, Sacramento Bee
Driving to San Francisco or Lake Tahoe for the weekend? Be careful not to hit the wildlife on these roadways.
A UC Davis professor who tracks vehicle-animal collisions found that in the Sacramento region, the most animals are killed on Interstate 80 from Davis to Sacramento, the stretch of road known as the Yolo Bypass, as well as on Highway 50 near El Dorado Hills.
In the Sierra Nevada, roadkill was spotted most often along state Highway 89 north of Lake Tahoe, and state Highway 49 in the foothills.
