FAQ Answer
Farm equipment (described in ND Century Code as implements of husbandry) can legally be on most roadways in the state. Other motorists can pass Farm Equipment when legal (watch for those striped, yellow lines down the center of the paved highways and NEVER pass on a hill) and safe to do so.
When approaching slow moving heavy equipment:
- Stay a safe distance behind the operator so he/she can see you in their side and/ or rearview mirrors
- SLOW DOWN-you will approach these vehicles much faster than you anticipate
- Be patient and use extreme caution when passing to make sure you have enough time to safely pass and avoid any oncoming traffic
- Be aware of roadway debris (the farmer may have just been in a muddy field) that may make the roadway slippery
