Be Seen and Be Safe
Spring is here and Alberta farmers and ranchers are back in the fields. This means there will be an increase in slow-moving equipment on rural roads, which can create a hazard for farm equipment operators and motorists.
Remember to share the road and be patient. Give slow-moving farm equipment plenty of room to maneuver. The typical speed of a piece of farm machinery is 30-40 km/hour. You need to slow down to react. Agriculture for Life has a Rural Road Safety video to help motorists understand the details, as well as a video for farmers and ranchers.
Let’s keep everyone safe. For more travel tips visit AgricultureforLife.ca. We’re In It For Life.
