Dead for a couple of days. Would be good to have some signs beside the road and a reduced speed limit so people don't drive into them or the wildlife.

wildlife signs (even animated ones) do not slow the drivers, research shows.
What does work is carcasses beside the road, lighting (deters the animals and helps the drivers see them), and fencing.

That is disappointing. I think there is some new tech being trialled to deter animals from crossing when cars are approaching. Hopefully it will make its way here soon.
