livestock crossing

Farm animals traversing

A livestock crossing is a designated place where farm animals—cattle, sheep, horses—are regularly moved across a road.

Road signs mark these areas to warn drivers of potential animal traffic.

The crossing may be a simple gate opening onto pavement or a more elaborate underpass.

Slow down near the livestock crossing.
