Rotating mirrors

A new way of keeping wildlife of the roads has been being tested in Holland and has proved to be a real succes.
They have placed rotating mirrors allong certain roads in forest areas. The mirrors reflect the light of headlights and the light frightens of animals, so they don't cross the road and get hit. They have also tried using non rotating mirrors, but the rotating ones reflect the light more often and further.
Since they have been in use, the amount of accidents with larger mammals, such as deer, has been reduced to nil.
