Why Did the Turtle (Almost) Cross the Road?

I have a fairly long commute several times a week and have for several years. And I've never seen as many snapping turtles killed along the side of the road, ever, as I have the previous month. One day I say eight in my 140 mile round trip. I tend to notice these types of things, and I'm not the only one. My first guess was that the rain that wouldn't end last month pushed them in some way, but I'm not sure that makes sense. From what I know, they're capable of living in water nearly 24/7.  Does anybody know why the turtles try to cross the road?
