Question 7345

When crossing a shoulder on which animals are traveling that do not have a designated livestock route (cañada), what must you do?

  1. Make signals to get them to move out of the way.
  2. Yield to them.
  3. Yield to them only when they form a group.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yield to them.

If your vehicle crosses a shoulder being used by animals that have no livestock route, they have the right-of-way. You wait for them to pass and then cross. It makes no difference whether it is a single animal or a herd. Honking or signaling for them to move aside is not yielding to them.
