Correct answer
At walking pace.
On a conventional road, animals driven in a herd must travel at walking pace. This means they must move at a reduced, controlled speed, as close as possible to the right-hand edge of the road, without occupying more than the right half of the carriageway. In addition, they must be divided into groups of moderate length, with at least one driver per group, and kept sufficiently separated so as not to hinder traffic. It is essential that those driving a herd remain alert to traffic and take precautions to make it easier to pass approaching vehicles. If it is necessary to cross with other livestock travelling in the opposite direction, they must do so quickly and in areas with good visibility. If this is not possible, they must take appropriate precautions to allow vehicles to stop or slow down in time.
