Reptiles are often overlooked when considering the environmental impact of roads: most reptiles are small, not a human safety hazard, and not charismatic to the public. Owing to reptile demography, natural history, and relations with humans, however, roads and road traffic may have a severe deleterious impact on reptile populations. Research attention on how reptiles interact with roads and on options for addressing the effects of roads on reptiles is ongoing. Nevertheless, there remains a need to identify which road impacts most threaten reptile populations, and what options are most effective at avoiding, mitigating, or offsetting the negative impacts of roads and road traffic.

摘要

Reptiles are often overlooked when considering the environmental impact of roads: most reptiles are small, not a human safety hazard, and not charismatic to the public. Owing to reptile demography, natural history, and relations with humans, however, roads and road traffic may have a severe deleterious impact on reptile populations. Research attention on how reptiles interact with roads and on options for addressing the effects of roads on reptiles is ongoing. Nevertheless, there remains a need to identify which road impacts most threaten reptile populations, and what options are most effective at avoiding, mitigating, or offsetting the negative impacts of roads and road traffic.
