Lol, they just get special treatment cuz they’re cute. The government isn’t doing anything special to help out the snakes, lizards, spiders, etc that want to cross the road.

Reminds me of the old children’s book Make Way for Ducklings. Humans have been helping cute animals cross the road for a long time.
