Road signs with animals common on our roads. They are used most often for drivers about the possible presence of animals in the territory where they are traveling, wild or domestic. Of course you know them, but before going to the main topic of this article, we will recall the most common onesthose that can be found most often on our roads in France.

Wildlife crossing sign.

This sign indicates a place where wild animals can often cross the road, especially at night. Drivers traveling in the area should redouble your vigilance and be prepared to slow down or stop if necessary. It’s a stylized image of an animal, sort of a deer or a boar.

Crossing for pets sign.

This type of panels is used in places where farm animals may be on the road, singly or in herds, for example, accompanied by a farmer or shepherd. It is represented by a drawing of a cow or a sheep in a red triangle or circle.

“Relocation” sign.

As for the passage of domestic animals, the one that shows a horse riding on a rider is indicated frequent presence of horsemenon roadsides or at crossings.

Passage “No dogs allowed”.

Motorists are less concerned about this, because we see this sign most often in the city, at entrances to residential areas or public parks and squares. But we also meet them on highways: a drawing of a dog in a circle or a red triangle. Even on a leash, they are “non grata” in these areas.

“Beware of elephants” sign.

We have come to the main topic of this article! Have you ever come across a triangular sign circled in red, in the middle of which is picture of an elephant? No? This is normal ! Unless you live near Arlon, in the Belgian Ardennes. It was there recently that funny signs appeared, under which there is a blue sign “Have you seen me?” “. So, did the elephant escape from the zoo or is it a hoax? It’s actually a advertising of the fiber optic company Eurofiber. She wants to get attention and get people talking about her to sell her services to small and medium businesses in the region. So nothing to do with elephants except for his logo which is pachyderm. Various panels will be placed around Arlon dismantled within 5-6 days, and returned to other cities of the region. Funny advertising move!
