| Tiivistelmä: | The article argues that minor roads have a larger impact on wildlife with respect to habitat destruction, noise load and traffic mortality. It is uses data on traffic related deaths in badgers (Meles meles) in The Netherlands to illustrate that traffic mortality is higher on minor roads as well as asks for a more extensive investigation of the environmental impacts of minor roads. The author found that the success of mitigation on roads drastically increases when both major and minor roads are integrated in the planning of traffic flows. It is proposes a strategy based on the concept of a traffic-calmed area. Traffic-calmed areas create opportunities for wildlife by decreasing limitations for animal movement. |
