Wikipedia
cattle guard
A cattle grid – also known as a stock grid in Australia; cattle guard, or cattle grate in American English; vehicle pass, or stock gap in the Southeastern United States; Texas gate in western Canada and the northwestern United States; and a cattle stop in New Zealand English – is a type of obstacle used to prevent livestock, such as sheep, cattle, pigs, horses, or mules from passing along a road or railway which penetrates the fencing surrounding an enclosed piece of land or border. It consists of a depression in the road covered by a transverse grid of bars or tubes, normally made of metal and firmly fixed to the ground on either side of the depression, so that the gaps between them are wide enough for an animal's feet to enter, but sufficiently narrow not to impede a wheeled vehicle or human foot. This provides an effective barrier to animals without impeding wheeled vehicles, as the animals are reluctant to walk on the grates.

cattle guard
A cattle guard, also known as a cattle grid or stock guard, is a type of obstacle used to prevent livestock, such as sheep or cattle, from passing along a road or through an opening in a fence, while still allowing vehicles or pedestrians to pass through. It is typically made up of a series of parallel bars or tubes laid across a road or path, spaced in a way that allows vehicle wheels to pass over but not the animals’ feet.
