This review synthesizes historical and contemporary research on wildlife–vehicle collisions roadkill, outlining its evolution from early documentation to modern road ecology. It discusses how efforts in North America Europe that quantified animal casualties developed standardized methodologies formed current studies use advanced geospatial tools, citizen science, artificial intelligence analyze spatiotemporal patterns. We examine key ecological, methodological, economic impacts of roadkill wildlife populations human safety, highlighting the role density, vehicle speed, seasonal factors. The framework presented also underscores a commitment sustainability by integrating environmental conservation with infrastructural development socio-economic resilience. details various mitigation strategies, fencing crossings dynamic signage, evaluates their effectiveness reducing mortality rates, thereby supporting sustainable transportation infrastructure management. identifies gaps outlines future directions, advocating for integrated, multidisciplinary approaches improve conservation, planning, public awareness context rapidly expanding networks.
