1. Warning for a danger with no specific traffic sign

This traffic sign indicates a warning for a danger with no specific traffic sign. It's a general warning sign used when there is a hazard ahead that does not have its own dedicated warning sign. For examples: road accidents, flooded roads and roads blocked by fallen trees. It usually has a supplementary sign attached that tells drivers of what hazard to expect.

2. Warning for low-flying aircrafts

This traffic sign indicates a warning for low-flying aircrafts. It alerts road users that aircraft may fly low over the road, potentially causing noise distraction or sudden overflight surprises. Drivers should remain focused despite potential noise or shadow distractions. Typical Locations: airports, military airbases, landing strips, airshows or heliports.

3. Warning for boars on the road

This traffic sign indicates a warning for boars. It alerts drivers to the possible presence of wild boars crossing or near the road. It helps prevent collisions with animals, especially in forested or rural areas. Drivers should: reduce speed, be prepared to brake suddenly, watch out for animals. Typical Locations: forested areas, rural roads, nature reserves or wildlife corridors.

4. Warning for cattle on the road

This traffic sign indicates a warning for cattle. It alerts drivers to the possible presence of cows, bulls, or other domestic livestock on or near the road. It helps prevent accidents, especially in rural or agricultural areas. Cattle may cross or walk along the road, either freely or under the supervision of a herder. Drivers should: slow down, be ready to stop suddenly, avoid honking or sudden movements. Typical Locations: farmlands, pastures near roads, unfenced grazing areas, mountain roads.

5. Warning for crossing deer

This traffic sign indicates a warning for crossing deer. It alerts drivers to the potential presence of deer or other wild animals crossing the road. It is essential in areas where wildlife-vehicle collisions are common. Wild deer may suddenly cross the road, especially at dawn or dusk. Drivers should: reduce speed, stay alert, watch both sides of the road. Typical Locations: forests, national parks, wildlife corridors or countryside highways.

6. Warning for wild horses on the road

This traffic sign indicates a warning for wild horses. It alerts drivers to the possible presence of wild or free-roaming horses on or near the roadway. It is used to prevent collisions and protect both animals and road users. Drivers should: reduce speed, be ready to stop quickly, avoid using the horn or high beams that could startle the animals. Typical Locations: Nature reserves, open rangeland, rural highways, areas with wild horse populations (e.g. Camargue (France), Nevada (USA), Mongolia, or Romania)

7. Warning for moose on the road

This traffic sign indicates a warning for moose. It alerts drivers that moose may cross or be present on the road. Drivers should reduce speed and stay alert, especially during dusk and dawn when moose are most active. Collisions with moose are dangerous due to their large size and high center of mass. Typical Locations: Rural or forested areas in countries like Sweden, Norway, Finland, Canada, and some northern regions of Europe.

8. Warning for reindeer on the road
