INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – With harvest season arriving, Hoosiers can expect to see more slow-moving agricultural equipment on the roadways. As the roads become more crowded, Indiana State Police (ISP) troopers are asking drivers to be cautious, and share the road this autumn.
“While driving our rural roads during fall, I often come across tractors and combines traveling between fields to harvest their crops,” said Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch. “I encourage all motorists to slow down, be patient, and be alert for agricultural equipment on our roads.”
ISP says the agricultural vehicles are not only wide, but can take up most of the road while traveling at speeds no greater than 25 mph. Drivers are asked to be patient to avoid any unsafe or serious accidents.
