A tall deer-elk fence has been put along the side of the highway. Animals that get onto highway need a way to get thru the fence and off the road. These ramps are made so an animal can walk up the ramp and jump thru the opening and get out of the fenced highway area. Some animal underpasses are constructed also. This is the way your tax dollars are being spent. In the past the animals just walked across the highway at their own leisure and took their chances with the highway traffic.
