In the situation in the image, do the animals have right of way?
A)Yes.
B)No, but we will stop if necessary.Correct
In this case the animals do not have right of way as there is no livestock route sign. However, since they are on the roadway, we must reduce speed and stop if necessary.
As a general rule, drivers have right of way for their vehicles over animals, except in the following cases: - On duly signposted livestock routes.
- When they are going to turn with 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 verge along which animals are travelling that do not have a livestock route. General livestock routes or cattle crossings shall be signposted by means of supplementary panels with the inscription CAÑADA placed beneath the domestic animal crossing sign.
