Article "The" or a

"Do not cross the ford with a fast flow or depth exceeding 40 cm."

In this context, I can replace "the" on "any" and write down "a ford" but it is a specific ford with a fast flow and certain depth, so I can use "the ford". What is right?

The "with a ~" wording does not work properly if you are talking about a specific ford. You can say:

"Do not cross the ford if the flow is fast or the depth exceeds 40 cm."
