No, not for looking pretty, but to let you know they are there.
Sometimes driving on the Baja highways presents challenges that are not often seen in other places around the world, especially if driving during the night.
Cows don’t give a damn about traffic or speed, when they want to cross to the other side, they just do it.
For this reason, the Municipal Office of Rural Development decided to delivermore than 200 fluorescent necklaces to farmers in the Santiago and Miraflores districts, free of charge.
These are the areas where more cattle are located, and they just walk freely around the area looking for food.
The distribution of these fluorescent collars aims to reduce accidents involving livestock, especially at night, in addition to installing signs and urging the public to drive with caution in areas with a high presence of animals.
This action is the result of a collaboration with the Costa Palma Foundation, which promoted the initiative to benefit local farmers.
The main objective is to prevent the presence of livestock on the roads and thereby prevent accidents that can put human and animal lives at risk,” he explained.
The Director of Rural Development announced that the distribution of collars will continue to be carried out to more livestock farmers in the municipality as part of a comprehensive road safety strategy.
