Correct answer
- ASí.Yes.
As a general rule, drivers have right of way over animals, except in the following cases: - On properly signposted livestock routes (cañadas). - 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. General livestock routes or crossings are signposted with additional panels saying CAÑADA, placed under the domestic animals warning sign. In this question, it is stated explicitly that there is a livestock route, so the animal clearly has priority.
