• A study was conducted on the deaths of mammals and reptiles caused by vehicular traffic on a road in Indira Gandhi Wildlife Sanctuary, Anaimalai Hills, Western Ghats, India. Vehicles killed a wide variety of mammals and reptiles, many of which were of endangered species. Reptilian roadkills mostly occurred during the rainy season and in the wet forest region. Roadkills occurred most commonly at night. In order to reduce this impact, it is suggested that tourist traffic should be minimised during the rainy season and during the night. Steps should be taken to maintain canopy contiguity beside the road. When constructing any further roads within the sanctuary, the sensitive rainforest areas must be avoided.
