Planting season is now in full swing, and the town of Shoals has issued this reminder for drivers. The presence of tractors, planters, and other large agricultural equipment on the roads is a common sight during these months. These vehicles are often much slower moving than regular traffic; have patience and be careful when passing when it is safe to do so. It’s crucial to give these machines ample space, understanding that the operators might have limited visibility and are focusing on the task at hand. Reducing speed and increasing awareness can significantly decrease the risk of accidents.
