Road Closed for Toad Sex

Amsterdam is, it would seem, behind the times by seeking to make sex in a park legal (see below). The Sun reports that in Wales, they closed a busy road for 10 hours so that toads could have sex on the tarmac.
Traffic built up as a 500ft section of the highway was shut between 8pm and 6am to allow the creatures to reach a breeding lake.

Thousands die every year crossing the road and conservationists hope the “Toad Watch” move will halt their decline. A spokesman said: “Over the years toads have got squashed. “Hopefully this will help more mate and the population will increase.”

The scheme at Llandrindod Wells is one of 70 in towns across Wales.
Apparently, unlike Amsterdam, heterosexual sex was permitted. Legislators can't seem to decide which is legal, so one would guess that being AC-DC is the safer bet for those traveling in Wales and the Netherlands.
