Save The Animals And Yourself
Zerokill are Solar Powered panels that are supposed to line the highway and help reduce animal road-kills during nighttime driving. It works in two ways: there are infrared sensors built into the body of Zerokill and when they detect an animal within the vicinity, they beam out subtle blinking LED lights, so as to warn the oncoming motorist. For the second part of the process, it reflects the oncoming car’s headlights, illuminating the sideways, as a warning to the animals. Like they say forewarned is forearmed!

With one of these every 50 – 100 feet of roadway, it might be easier to clean up the occasional (or frequent) dead animal instead of manufacturing a few hundred million of these warning pylons. Other than that, I like the idea and form.

Unfortunately governments don’t care enough about road kill to employ this technology as the costs would be far too great. Perhaps in focused areas where endangered species are know to be living, this could be feasible.

Nice job, this is one of the actions wich goverments should do, unfortunately this really good ideas often go on in that way. However I love your concept, design and ‘protection action’

What is “Demention”? Another Engrish word creation?
“Since wild animals are sensitive to light, they can quickly recognize and avoid the coming car”
Yeah, they will totally do that because we all know that they also do that when they see the headlights coming right at them. I mean, who ever heard of a deer getting hit by a car because it stopped in the middle of the road, staring at the approaching lights, right?
That’s good, thoughtful design!
