Actually most of the ones you see in this pictures are dead because of vehicles...
Cars buses.. do run over them, in some places they have build littles tunnes so the crabs can go under... but there is no way to do that all along the road... sometimes the amounts of crabs strike out tires.
Do cars really just run over them? So tragic. They are so beautiful. Does this migration cause economic problems? There was a stand in our local fair last week selling this very crab ( and little green turtles) as pets. They almost always all die.
