This is a two-part series on sharing the road during harvest season. In our previous blog post, we discussed how farmers can alert other motorists and better share the road with them.
As we transition into fall, farmers are getting ready for harvest. More combines, tractors, and semis will be traveling on rural roads. With an increase of these slow-moving vehicles in transit, it’s important for motorists to know how to share the road.
In order to keep everyone safe, here are a few things for motorists to remember when traveling rural roads and highways:
According to Southern States, most paved rural roads are around 18-20 feet wide; many pieces of farm equipment measure over 13 feet wide. With farm equipment taking up a majority of the road, it’s important that you slow down and give the farmer enough time to get over on the side of the road so that you can safely pass.
