How and when is it safe to pass farm equipment?
It is illegal and very dangerous to pass farm equipment in a no passing zone. Pass only when the road ahead is clear and there is either a dashed yellow line on your side of the road or a dashed white line. And when passing, be extra cautious. Tractors and other farm equipment may be wider than they look from behind and may require ample space in both lanes. The keys to safety when sharing the road with farm equipment are caution and patience. If farm equipment is causing a delay in traffic, the operator should move off the road at the nearest practical location and allow the traffic to pass.
