Explanation

As a general rule, drivers have right of way over animals, except in the following cases: - On properly signposted livestock routes (cañadas). A cañada is a route set aside for livestock. - When drivers are turning 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 on which animals are moving and there is no livestock route for them.
