Road Sign "Stray Pets" Fig. 24: Guaranteed Safety on the Road

The "Stray pets" road warning sign, identified by Figure II.24 of the Highway Code, is an essential element for road safety, especially in rural areas or near farms. This sign warns of the possible presence of pets such as dogs, cats, cattle, horses or sheep on or in the immediate vicinity, alerting drivers to pay more attention and reduce their speed.

Technical and Construction Features

Made of high-quality sheet metal with a thickness of 10/10 mm (1 mm), this sign guarantees robustness and durability over time. Its triangular shape with an upward vertex, typical of danger signs, is immediately recognizable. With a side of 90 cm, it meets the standard for extra-urban road use, ensuring optimal visibility even from a distance.

Class 1 (RA1) reflective film ensures clear signal perception both day and night, in any light or weather conditions. The white background, the red border and the black pictogram depicting a cow, a conventional symbol of a pet, comply with current legislation.

Installation and Applications

Installation is simple and intuitive, thanks to the two rear channels that allow fixing on a standard galvanized pole. This signal is indispensable in several situations:

• On roads where the presence of livestock is frequent.
• In areas where animals can cross the roadway freely.
• Near pastures that are not completely fenced, farms, farmhouses or rural, hilly and mountainous areas.

Its primary function is to alert drivers to the risk of sudden crossing of animals, requiring greater caution and responsiveness to braking, contributing significantly to the prevention of accidents.
