A few papers I found useful when researching this topic: Huijser et al 2007 Wildlife-Vehicle Collision and Crossing Mitigation Measures: Toolbox for the Montana Department of Transportation
Mastro et al 2008 Deer-vehicle collision prevention techniques Sullivan et al 2003 Effectiveness of Temporary Warning Signs in Reducing Deer-Vehicle Collisions during Mule Deer Migration Less prescriptive, but still helpful: Creative Resource Strategies 2008 Wildlife Crossings: The State of the Science A Literature Review. Hope that helps!
