We also have a few of them in Austria, are they rare in America?

Sorry to say I've been in more states than not, and I've never encountered one. To be fair, my kids attend public school in trailers, so, you know, I don't think the deer are gonna be getting amenities any time soon, but who knows?

From Wikipedia:

In the United States, thousands of wildlife crossings have been built in the past 30 years, including culverts, bridges, and overpasses.

The source article is from 2003.
