I was pre warned of spring by migrating fogs (I sh!t you not). I rescued two from possible death before they crossed the road. I help them to the other side. I think they come out of hibernation, from the moor, heading to the quiet bit of the river. They use the zebra crossing(again I sh1t you not). But the cars don't stop.
One frog had already been splattered on our road. I like frogs, cars are the curse of the modern age, we all get in one every now and again, but they can make some  problems, that’s for sure. Sometimes I am glad I ride a bike .
I wonder if we can eat our wild frogs. Obviously I would not if they were endangered. I believe most frogs legs come from factory/cruelty  farms, not in France.

Frogs on the crossing ? and no-one stops.. unbelievable..no-one cares! some just want to squash them and others want to eat them

MMM frogs. I've never had "farm raised" frogs. We always go out and get our own.

We need photo evidence of these frog migrations! We used to collect the eggs in the creek and put them into a big fish tank.  My mother made us take them back to the creek when the tadpoles began to sprout legs.

There are signs to aware drivers that certain spots are ritual crossings for amphibians unfortunately they are difficult to avoid.
Some Town in GB had a tunnel made under one busy road to enable these creatures to reach the other side...signs up for the drivers so all was perfect....

...though the authorities omitted to inform the interested
