Infrastructure Solutions

Better Infrastructure Saves Lives

  • Wildlife Crossings – Overpasses with vegetation and underpasses/tunnels give animals safe alternatives.

  • Fencing & Barriers – Direct animals towards designated crossing points instead of onto open carriageways.

  • Reflectors & Warning Systems – Technology that warns animals of approaching vehicles, or alerts drivers when motion is detected.

Roadside Habitat Management

  • Cutting back long grass and vegetation near roads improves visibility for both drivers and animals.

  • Planting hedges and habitats further away from the roadside reduces food and shelter temptations.

  • Maintaining clean, litter-free verges removes waste that attracts scavengers.

Litter Picking & Debris Removal

  • Food waste attracts foxes, gulls, badgers, and hedgehogs onto roads.

  • Plastic & packaging can cause injury and entrapment for wildlife.

  • Community-led litter picks, supported by Pawesome Pathways, reduce roadkill risk while improving the look and feel of our towns and villages.

Cleaner, Safer Streets for All

When we remove litter and maintain our roadsides properly:

  • Wildlife is safer from traffic collisions.

  • Drivers are safer thanks to fewer sudden obstructions.

  • Communities thrive with cleaner, more attractive environments that boost local pride.

Pawesome Pathways’ Vision

We bring together volunteers, councils, and road safety experts to promote both physical infrastructure improvements and community action. Clean streets and safer crossings go hand in hand to prevent unnecessary roadkill.
