PETALING JAYA: The Wildlife and National Parks Department (Perhilitan) has put up 300 animal crossing road signs at about 170 locations across peninsular Malaysia in an effort to reduce roadkill.

As many as 40 road signs, including two signboards indicating animal crossing areas, were put up in Terengganu alone after an elephant was killed in a collision with a lorry at a stretch on the Gawi-Aring expressway in Hulu Terengganu Sunday (July 28).
