This invention describes the design and method of installation of wild animal highway warning reflectors. The reflector consists of a transparent plate having a flat light entrance surface and a backside reflection surface from which the reflected light is dispersed. The rear surface is comprised of many reflecting toric surfaces arranged vertically and horizontally side-by-side. The new design of the toric surfaces and the unique method of installing the reflectors provide complete reflected light coverage for all variations of roadside terrain to warn wild animals that wish to cross a highway at night. To an animal each reflector glitters with colored light. As a vehicle passes, animals see an unnatural, sequence of lights coming from a plurality of reflectors located along both sides of the highway. Installation of these warning reflectors adjacent to highways where wild animals frequently cross has led to a considerable reduction of the number of accidents.

Cette invention concerne des réflecteurs d'effarouchement de la faune aux abords des routes ainsi que la méthode d'installation desdits réflecteurs. L'objet de l'invention se compose d'une plaque transparente plane recouvrant un fond réfléchissant la lumière dans tous les sens. Ce fond comporte un grand nombre de plots toroïdes réfléchissants, juxtaposés dans le sens de la hauteur et dans celui de la largeur. La forme et la disposition novatrices des plots et la méthode inventive d'installation des réflecteurs assure une réflexion de la lumière des phares tous azimuts, sans égard à la topographie des lieux. Les animaux qui s'approchent de la route pour la traverser perçoivent une lumière colorée, réfléchie selon une séquence non naturelle par plusieurs réflecteurs implantés des deux côtés de la route. L'installation de ces réflecteurs le long des routes fréquemment traversées par des animaux sauvages a permis de réduire considérablement le nombre des accidents.
