A 22-mile stretch of fences along both sides of Interstate 280 in San Mateo County would prevent dangerous and costly collisions between deer and cars, a UC-Davis study concludes.
The two-year, $322,415 study was funded by the California Department of Transportation and conducted by the University of California Davis Road Ecology Center.
Every year about 40 to 50 deer are hit by vehicles on Interstate 280, said Fraser Shilling, the center's co-director and author of the study. The section of highway between Millbrae and Woodside has more animal accidents than others because of its proximity to the county's open spaces, including Crystal Springs Reservoir.
"You've got some significant wildlife habitat right next to where people are driving 70 to 80 miles per hour," Shilling said Tuesday.
In September 2011, a few months before the study was launched, 27-year-old Santa Clara University assistant professor Daniel Strickland died after he hit a deer, stopped his car and was slammed into by another vehicle.
Even when drivers manage to avoid hitting deer and other animals that cross the highway, they're put in a perilous situation by having to swerve in traffic, Shilling said.
Caltrans is reviewing the recommendations in the UC-Davis study and has not "formally endorsed or rejected any of the proposals," Bob Haus, a department spokesman, wrote in an email Tuesday.
A deer fence should be about 8 feet tall to be effective, according to the study. It would cost about $100,000 per mile to construct, for a total of about $4 million, Shilling said. The cost could be lowered if some existing fences are heightened.
Although highway undercrossings can provide safe passage to deer and other wildlife, they need to be as free from humans as possible. And fences still would be needed nearby to prevent animals from accessing the road, the report states.
The study identified three main wildlife-vehicle collision hot spots -- a mile stretch between Hillcrest Boulevard and one mile south of Trousdale Drive, the Bunker Hill Drive crossing, and a half-mile span north of Farm Hill Boulevard.

Updated: Tuesday, 17 Dec 2013 15:01 | Comments Henry De Bromhead will give Moscow Mannon a first start over fences
Moscow Mannon is set to make his debut over fences and first start for Henry De Bromhead in the Navan Racecourse Membership Beginners Chase on Saturday.
The seven-year-old won three bumpers for Downpatrick-based Brian Hamilton a couple of seasons ago and finished fourth behind Champagne Fever in the Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham Festival.
He made a decent start to his jumping career last season, winning a novice hurdle at Navan before running well behind the likes of Annie Power and, most recently, Un De Sceaux at the Punchestown Festival.
De Bromhead is pleased to have added the talented gelding to his string and is looking forward to seeing how he fares over the larger obstacles at Navan this weekend.
"He's grand and the plan is to go there. He's a nice horse. We'll see how he gets on," said De Bromhead.
Moscow Mannon's potential opponents include Willie Mullins' high-class juvenile hurdler Blood Cotil, last seen beating stable companion Diakali in an Auteuil Grade Three event in May.

A 24-year-old suspected shoplifter couldn't hide -- but he sure could run -- following an incident in Langley, B.C.
RCMP in the Vancouver suburb say the suspect jumped several ditches and at least four fences before he was arrested.
Mounties say they were waiting outside a store after being alerted to a man allegedly putting on clothes and wrapping other items in tin foil.
Cpl. Holly Marks says an officer chased the man over several streets and across a rugged rural area, through water and over fences, even grabbing him by the arm at one point but losing him again at the third fence when he peeled off one of the allegedly ill-gotten T-shirts.
The suspect was finally arrested by other officers ahead of the chase on Thursday.
Marks says Robert Duncan, of no fixed address, will appear in Surrey provincial court to face charges of theft under $5,000 and obstructing a peace officer.
