Area law enforcement agencies want to remind drivers to be aware of the farm machinery on the roads during the busy spring season.
Most tractors have road speeds ranging from 15 to 25 miles per hour, with some up to 40 miles per hour. This significant difference in speed often causes cars to be involved with rear-end collisions of farm machinery.
Also, farmers may have to take up more of the roadway when going through bridges or where mailboxes are next to the roadway.
Motorists need to remember to be patient and make sure that it is a safe place and time to pass.
