Wildlife collisions are a huge concern on UK roads, leading to vehicle damage and, more importantly, posing risks to human safety and wildlife populations. However, strategically installed highway fencing serves as an important barrier, guiding animals away from busy roads and reducing the likelihood of accidents.
How Highways Fencing Mitigates Wildlife Collisions
By creating physical barriers, highway fencing prevents animals from accessing roadways, directing them towards safer crossing points or underpasses. This not only safeguards wildlife but also facilitates uninterrupted travel for motorists.
Selecting the Right Fencing Supplies
Choosing right fencing materials is essential for effectiveness and durability. At Hales Sawmills, we offer a comprehensive range of fencing supplies tailored for such purposes:
- Durable Timber Fencing: Our high-quality timber options provide robust barriers suitable for various wildlife species.

- Machine Rounded Posts: These posts provide stability and longevity, essential for maintaining the integrity of highways fencing.
Integrating Fencing with Other Safety Measures
While fencing plays a pivotal role, combining it with extra measures can improve their overall practicality:
- Wildlife Overpasses and Underpasses: These structures provide safe crossing points for animals, reducing the need to cross roadways.
- Reflective Signage: Alerting drivers to potential wildlife crossings encourages reduced speeds and increased vigilance.
