When crossing a road on which animals without a designated lane are moving, what must you do?
Right of way
Explanation
When you encounter animals on the road that do not have a specific lane to travel, it is important to **yield to them**. This is due to several reasons:
- **Right of way**: Animals have the right of way in certain situations, such as when a vehicle crosses a shoulder where animals are traveling and have no other place to go. This means that if there is no specific path for them, like a drovers' road, animals must be prioritized.
- **Traffic rules for animals**: Animals, such as livestock or those transporting people, must travel on the right shoulder or, if there is no shoulder, as close as possible to the right edge of the road. This indicates that they do not always have a dedicated and safe space to travel, so it is crucial for drivers to yield to them to avoid accidents.
- **Safety and control**: Animals on the road must always be guided by a person over 18 years old, which implies that their movement is controlled and predictable, but also that they need space and time to move safely.
For these reasons, yielding to animals is the correct and safe action when they are on the road without a specific lane.
