They make it to the barrier, then dart with traffic and against traffic right next to the barrier at full speed. When they realize that they can't find an opening they turn back across traffic, again at full speed. The two I saw darting back did not make it.

If they could only have climbed over the barrier , I guess they are too stupid. Maybe it's nature's way of culling out the really dumb ones.

Anyway, I'm sure PETA will be demanding squirrel ramps on those barriers any day now.
I seen a few run out in front of me on the way home. I missed them but I looked back in my mirror and they never had a chance!
It gives new meaning to "why did the chicken cross the road".
