Sharing the road with farm machinery is a way of life for drivers in many parts of the Midwest.
Turn signals key to safe roads for ag equipment
Motorists should be aware that a farm-vehicle driver could turn left into a driveway or field entrance. A tractor on the road will likely have a flashing amber or yellow light on the cab or tire fenders. When a farmer signals to turn, the light will continue to flash in the direction the farmer is turning. The other light will go solid. That’s an important distinction for motorists to recognize, according to the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation.
