Iriomote cat (endangered species) road sign - Stock-Fotografie

There are several types of traffic signs for animal warning on Japanese roads. Animals depicted in the signs we often see, Deer, monkey, raccoon dog, but there are traffic signs of rare animals. The road sign for "Iriomote Nayako" is only Iriomote Island in Okinawa Prefecture. The form that "a picture of an animal on a yellowish background with a diamond is drawn" seems to be adopted a form of UN signage, and it is written in the same way as a foreign sign. The place where the sign built is based on the fact that an animal popped out in the past and a corpse was found. It seems that the location on the left side of the point from 30 m to 200 m in front of the place where attention is considered necessary for driving and the installation location are decided.
