Does the visible sign warn you of the possibility of encountering wild animals on the road?

In the video you are driving on a road outside a town, along fields and a forest; on the right there is a yellow triangle with the silhouette of a leaping roe deer - sign A-18b "wild animals" - with plate T-2 "2.8 km". The sign warns of the possibility of meeting wild 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 of the possibility of meeting animals on the road; they differ in their symbol - a cow means farm animals, a roe deer means wild animals. Plate T-2 under a warning sign shows the length of the section on which the danger occurs, if it is longer than 500 m - here animals may come out onto the road over 2.8 km. A collision with a wild boar or a deer at 90 km/h means a wrecked car and a real risk to life. The greatest risk is at dawn and at dusk, and in autumn; beyond the sign you slow down and watch the shoulders and the edge of the forest, and when you see one animal, you expect more, because roe deer and wild boar move in groups. If an animal runs out right in front of the bonnet, you brake hard without swerving sharply - leaving the road or a head-on collision is worse than hitting the animal.
