The existing hedgehog sign, which serves as a warning to drivers about the presence of these small creatures, will undergo an update to make it clearer and more easily understandable for motorists. Simultaneously, regulations surrounding small wildlife warning signs will be relaxed, simplifying the process for local authorities to erect such signs. This change aims to enhance the safeguarding of hedgehogs and other small animals.
