[Un] système de détection d'animaux sauvages est maintenant fonctionnel le long de la Transcanadienne à l'ouest de St. John's, sur 1,5 km qui se trouve à l'est de l'échangeur Salmonier. Le système en question utilise des capteurs pour détecter le moment où un animal sauvage se trouve sur l'autoroute, ce qui a pour effet de déclencher des feux clignotants sur un panneau indiquant «Moose on Highway When Lights are Flashing». 1, record 1, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20de%20d%C3%A9tection%20d%27animaux%20sauvages
