Cattle likely to be in road ahead
A red triangle with a cow silhouette warns that you may meet livestock on the carriageway, often unfenced and sometimes herded across by a farmer. Slow down well in advance — cattle don't move quickly off the road and react badly to horns and engine revs. Be patient and pass slowly when you have a clear gap.
