2. Animal crossing - South Africa
In South Africa, it’s not just pedestrians that drivers need to be aware of. Animals are given as much right to the roads as drivers, with motorists facing stiff fines if they fail to slow or stop for passing herds of livestock.

In South Africa, it's not just pedestrians that drivers need to be aware of.  Animals are prone to crossing the roads at any moment's notice, and motorists face stiff fines if they fail to stop for passing herds of livestock.

(By "livestock," I assume this refers to farm animals because that word generally implies the animals are regarded as an asset.)

This is simpler, but leaves out some of the nuance of the original text.

2. Animal crossing - South Africa
In South Africa, it’s not just pedestrians that drivers need to be aware of. Animals have the same rights as cars and trucks to use roads. Drivers can be given large fines if they don't slow or stop for animals on the road.
