Cattle Likely to be in Road Ahead Warning Sign – Diagram 548 | Permanent UK Traffic Sign
The Cattle Likely to be in Road Ahead Warning Sign – Diagram 548 is an official UK traffic sign used to alert drivers to areas where farm animals, specifically cattle, may be crossing or walking on the road. Commonly installed in rural, agricultural, or livestock-farming regions, this sign serves as a crucial reminder for motorists to reduce speed and proceed cautiously.
