A three-mile section of US 50 east of Dayton was outfitted in 2002 with a Strieter reflector system used in several other states to keep wildlife such as deer and elk away from traffic.

This is the first time the reflectors have been tested on a wild horse population, but it has proven effective in other areas for a wide range of animals, including herbivores like deer, elk and moose, and predators like foxes and coyotes.
