Farming and the highway

Farming is an important industry in our rural county. As a result, tractors are a frequent sight on our roads.

Farming and the Public Highway: a Code of Practice outlines how the cooperation of the farming community is vital in helping us to keep our roads safe for all. The code provides information on:

• mud on the highways
• maintaining ditches and drains
• maintaining adjacent hedges
• crop irrigation and smoke
• agricultural vehicles on the road
• the use of agricultural road signs
