In view of the sign, do domestic animals have right of way when crossing the carriageway?
A)Yes, when they are travelling in a group.
B)Yes, when they are accompanied by a livestock handler.
C)No.Correct
The sign in the question indicates the danger due to the proximity of an intersection with a road whose users must give way to us. That is, in this case the animals do not have priority.
As a general rule, drivers have right of way for their vehicles over animals, except in the following cases:
- On duly signposted drovers' roads. (A drovers' road is a specific route for livestock)
- When they are about to turn 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 hard shoulder along which animals are travelling that have no drovers' road available.
