You approach a drovers’ crossing marked with the domestic-animal sign and a “cañada” panel. A herd will cross. With no instructions or signs establishing a different priority, must you give way?

Correct answer

Yes, it is a crossing for domestic animals and you must give way.

Yes. Article 66 gives animals priority at properly marked drovers’ crossings. Other priority cases include turning into another road or crossing a shoulder used by animals without a drovers’ route. An animal-warning sign alone does not establish a marked drovers’ crossing. Even when having priority, avoid harm and adapt driving to animals present.
