Naming of Hazard

It makes a big difference whether a wild or a domestic animal crosses the street. Domestic animals crossing a street are usually observed by a responsible person. Animals leading people crossing a street in some kind taking care of traffic matters. In the case of wildlife crossing a road, they usually don't care about traffic at all. In northern European countries, wild animals often rest on the road without paying attention to traffic. In my view, the hazard designation must therefore be defined more precisely. hazard=wild_animals and hazard=domestic_animals, depending on the official meaning of the traffic sign, can also be cattle_drive or sheep_drive, or whatever the species may be. --Vanagaudi (talk) 12:54, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

Tagging

At present in paragraph "tagging" it had been announced that relations should not been used. In all cases the traffic sign for hazard wild animals is valid for a specific part of a way. Usually a distance is given in addition to main traffic sign. So there actually is a relationship between the traffic sign and a part of the road. Why not to add this relationship to database? --Vanagaudi (talk) 16:00, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
