Question 4940

When do animals have the right-of-way?

  1. When they are moving in a group or herd, they always have the right-of-way.
  2. They never have the right-of-way.
  3. When there is a domestic animals sign accompanied by a "cañada" plaque.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: When there is a domestic animals sign accompanied by a "cañada" plaque.

The domestic animals sign with the “Cañada” panel marks a livestock route, where livestock have the right-of-way, like the goats crossing in front of the gray passenger car in the image. Traveling in a group does not give them the right-of-way. They also have it when you turn onto a road they are crossing and when you cross a shoulder they are using because they have no livestock route.
