In Burlington they close down the very fun to drive King Road every year for three weeks to protect salamanders. If this was a heavily used major road, I wonder if they'd still do this.
Only place I've ever seen one was at Great Smokey National Park in Tennessee even though I'm a fisherman and have waded locals rivers and shore fished ponds many dozens of times.

Residents turning the clocks forward an hour this weekend are reminded it’s once again time for the annual migration of the Jefferson salamander in Burlington and the closure of King Road.
Starting this Sunday, March 11, through to April 1, the City of Burlington is closing the roadway from the base of the Niagara Escarpment to Mountain Brow Road to provide the endangered Jefferson salamander safe passage during its annual breeding migration.
