Warning signs

Wild fowl likely to be in road ahead

A red triangle with a duck silhouette warns that ducks, geese or swans may be on the carriageway — especially common near rivers, lakes and reservoirs. They take their time crossing. Slow down and don't honk; loud noises panic them and can cause them to fly into your windscreen.
