Nebraska LB496 amends road rules for motorists encountering animals on highways.

Nebraska LB496 modifies the Nebraska Rules of the Road to address situations where motorists encounter animals being led or driven on highways. It requires motorists to yield to livestock being led or driven on highways and to use caution when passing such animals. Motorists must also stop if a person leading or driving livestock raises a hand, unless moving is necessary to avoid an accident. The bill repeals the original section and replaces it with these new provisions.
