===Road salt accumulations=== {{main|Rumble strip#Wildlife attraction}} On roadways where [[rumble strip]]s are installed to provide a tactile vibration alerting drivers when drifting from their lane, the rumble strips may accumulate road salt in regions where it is used. The excess salt can accumulate and attract both small and large wildlife in search of [[salt lick]]s; these animals are at great risk of becoming roadkill or causing accidents.<ref>{{cite report |first1=M.
