1. Crossing animals
A crossing animals sign is a warning sign indicating that animals may unexpectedly enter or cross the road. These can be wild animals (e.g. deer) or domestic animals (e.g. cows, sheep), depending on the region.
- How to Avoid Hitting Wildlife:
- Slow down in rural, wooded, or signed wildlife zones.
- Be extra cautious at dawn and dusk—times when animals are most active.
- Watch for movement along road edges.
- Use high beams when safe at night for better visibility.
- If you see one animal, expect more—they often travel in groups.
- Don’t swerve suddenly—brake firmly and stay in control.
- What to Do If You Hit an Animal:
- Pull over safely and check for damage
- Don’t approach large injured animals—they can be dangerous
- Report it to local authorities or animal control if the animal is large or a road hazard.
- If it’s a domestic pet, try to contact the owner or notify animal services.
