The best solution to protect the tortoises would be **fencing off the road from tortoises**.

Fencing can help prevent tortoises from crossing the road and reduce the risk of vehicle collisions, thereby providing a direct means of protecting them from the dangers posed by the road. Other options, such as posting signs or planting grasses, may not be as effective in preventing direct harm to the tortoises. Building stairs up a bridge could also be an option but may not be as practical or effective in providing a safe passage compared to fencing.
