Cattle guard

As I was going through the last of the pictures of my camping trip I found these and wondered how many people use this method of preventing cattle from leaving.     Is it used in your area?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  We call it a cattle guard or a Texas gate.  Apparently cattle will not cross because they cannot stand on it as their hooves slip right through.  There were a number of them throughout the journey, some without the ridges to drive on and unless you slow to a crawl the vibration will shake your teeth loose.
