When we find animals on the carriageway, even though they do not have priority, we must slow down and even stop. As a general rule, drivers have right of way over animals, except in the following cases: on properly signed livestock routes; when turning into another road where animals are crossing, even if there is no crossing for them; and when the vehicle crosses a hard shoulder along which animals are travelling where there is no livestock route. General livestock routes or crossings are shown by additional panels with the word CAÑADA placed under the domestic animals crossing sign.
