Rural Driving (continued)

Observe warning signs for curves, bridges, or cattle crossings. There are very few warning signs in rural areas, so if you see one, know that it is there for a reason. Adjust your speed for the condition of the road, especially when approaching oncoming vehicles.

Pay special attention to farm equipment. Farm to Market roads are to be shared with large equipment and tractors, normally oversized, which can be difficult to pass. If you do not have a completely clear view ahead, follow behind the tractor until it turns off the road. Farm equipment usually doesn't travel far, so be patient.
