As a general rule, drivers have right of way for their vehicles over animals, except in the following cases: - On duly signposted livestock trails.
- When they are turning their vehicle to enter another road and there are animals crossing it, even if there is no crossing for them.
- When the vehicle crosses a shoulder along which animals are travelling that do not have a livestock trail. General livestock trails or crossings will be signposted by means of complementary panels with the inscription CAÑADA placed beneath the domestic animal crossing sign.
