A number of years back, I was driving through Alleghany County on Rt. 16 on a warm, rainy evening, when suddenly, it seemed, I found myself in the middle of a road "paved" with frogs and toads and other slow-moving amphibians. If one's goal is not to consider their ecological value and simply plow through to one's destination, the solution is simple; but if one cares about the balance of nature and has respect for it and its "animals," then one winds up in a delemma of mass proportions. There was no other traffic. Had I missed a sign? Did someone know something which I did not? Do I stand still, move slowly ahead, go back? I waited for quite a while, though I no longer remember the hour nor minutes. After what seemed to be an eternity, there was a very significant clearing in the road and I was able to make my get-away with a high level of confidence that I was responsible for little or no loss of life. This DEC program sounds needed to me and I will seek further information.
