Moose are very plentiful here in North Eastern Utah. They wander thru town all the time, just meandering down the streets and alleys, people scattering out of the way. Often a cow and calf but bulls also.
A while back a cow was cruising the traffic circle at front of the hotel the wife works at and was about to come into the lobby! The auto doors opened and it looked like she was gonna come right on in, but thankfully she demurred. You really can't "herd" moose around.

A video posted on Facebook in mid-November shows the outstanding success of the i-80 wildlife overpass in Utah, where you can watch elk, moose, small mammals, black bears, coyotes, and even what appears to be a porcupine safely cross a dangerous stretch of road.

This is a great idea. I've seen the aftermath of what happens to a car and it's occupants when they strike a deer trying to cross a freeway.

miles and miles of high fence along US93 between Jackpot and Wells, Nevada and more of these kinds of overpasses on I-70 near Green River as I recall.

The little ones need better places to hide while making this treacherous transit. the could litter the ground with a series of small pipes. Course that is a home for snakes too.

Looks like it has or will become a favorite choke point for predators to nab an easy meal. Not really survival of the fittest.

A brown bear, mt lion, bull elk, and wolverine enter a bar. Hilarity ensues.

Mama Bear: “Where are we going for dinner tonight?” Papa Bear: “The bridge!!!!”

They have some of those in Europe. A lot bigger than that one. They’re quite well done.

“I’ve been lobbying for more harvest.”

Great idea. Put me on the list. I would love to harvest one more big animal.
