Grey Bruce Public Health advises area drivers that summer means busy farms & farm machinery on the roads. They say to slow down and share the shoad.
Farm machinery moves slowly and must display an orange and red slow-moving vehicle sign on their backs.
In most cases tractors have a top speed of 40 km per hour.
Farm machinery is also oversized, so its hard for the driver to see vehicles travelling beside it.
Stay far back and do not pass until its safe.
They also advise to remember that5 it is common for farmers to be on the roads after dark in peak season.
The Province also offers a list of tips for sharing the road. They are available at the link below.
