Be aware of slow-moving farm machinery.

The typical speed of a piece of farm machinery is 30-40 km/hour. You need to slow down to react! Be patient.

Watch for vehicles marked with slowmoving vehicle signs (a bright orange triangle with a red border) and flashing amber lights.

Do not drive in equipment blind spots where operators cannot see you. Keep back a safe distance – at least 50 feet, when following.

Be aware of intersections where farm equipment might turn.

For the future of Alberta and generations to come, please make sure to vote.

Jan Scott
