Thanks for sharing the details. It's sad to hear that you found 150 dead newts during your walk. It's good that you and your companions documented the details of the dead newts. It's also interesting to know about the other roadkill you found, including snakes, salamanders, frogs, toads, spiders, millipedes, Jerusalem crickets, beetles, caterpillars, and a slug. The traffic details you shared are also helpful. You can share the URL to your observations if you have any.
