Are you warned in this situation of a possible encounter with farm animals on the road?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo you are driving along a road through a village; on the right there is a yellow triangular sign with the silhouette of a cow - A-18a "farm animals", and below it plate T-2 "2.0 km". You are warned that you may meet farm animals on the road. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that signs A-18a "farm animals" and A-18b "wild animals" warn that you may meet animals on the road, and plate T-2, placed under a warning sign, shows the length of the section of road on which the danger repeats or occurs. The silhouette of a cow means farm animals - cows, horses, sheep being driven across or along the road - as opposed to A-18b with the silhouette of a deer. The plate tells you that for 2 km you may meet a herd on the roadway, for example when it is being driven to pasture. A warning sign requires particular caution: you slow down enough to be able to stop before an animal, you do not sound the horn at a herd, because frightened animals behave unpredictably, and you remember that the first cow is usually followed by others.
Legal basis: § 9 and § 3 para. 1 and 5 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
