Can I drive farm equipment on the streets?

Farm equipment does not need to be driven on the shoulder of the street, although wide equipment may extend onto the shoulder or the oncoming lane of traffic.On the Other: Proper Vehicle MarkingState law outlines the requirements for marking farm vehicles to alert other drivers to their presence. For example, many states require that farm equipment traveling less than 25 miles per hour must have an amber strobe light or display a slow-moving-vehicle emblem on the back of the equipment.Bottom LineFarm equipment can be driven on public streets and highways, although not interstates.
