[QUOTE="Foregoneconclusion, post: 4574568, member: 10927"] Hi . I'm in the throes of getting my team revved up to begin build of our replacement dairy unit.. which is all robotic. In our plans we intended to use an underpass to cross under an unclassified road which is on the approach to the village. As our budget is getting a bit pressured i'm looking to reduce costs by going for a surface crossing. This would take the form of a well lit crossing on a straight section of road with grids each side of the crossing and automated warning lights each side of the crossing point. The crossing point is hoped to be towards the north end of the gentle bend in this link..

Being a crossing for robotic cows the cows will at some point be crossing in the dark. Visibility is good and if well but sympathetically lit (the bats will love the lights as all kinds of beasties will be attracted) with warning beacons activated by cow presence i cant see the issues.. Is anyone aware of anything like this anywhere they have been.. ie a totally un- gated cow crossing on a public highway? Anyone got ideas to help move the discussion on to a happy ending? [/QUOTE]
