Asking the obvious question. Are there efforts in place or being contemplated to mitigate the DBT roadkill?

The correct week is 19 - 25 April, with the first road mortality recorded on the U.S. Hwy 80 causeway connecting Wilmington and Tybee islands on 23 April. This is 15 days earlier than the first record of 2019 on 8 May.

This is both unusually early, and an unusually high observance of mortality for the date range. The 23 April record represents the earliest nesting commencement for terrapins in the Savannah, GA region since we began recording data in 2004.
