A population of wildflowers is separated by an eight-lane superhighway. Pollen is often carried by the wind across the highway and can pollinate the flowers on the other side of the highway. Can speciation occur in this situation?

No, because the populations are not geographically isolated.

Speciation may not occur in this situation because the two populations are not reproductively isolated.

Speciation is the formation of new species.

New species can emerge from old species if a population from a species suddenly becomes reproductively isolated from the rest.

In this case, although a population of the wildflowers was separated from the rest, the new population still interacts with the old population reproductively.

Hence, the chances of the new population becoming a new species is highly limited.
