Residents reminded to secure outbuildings and ensure surveillance equipment is functioning properly
GREY BRUCE OPP: WATCH FOR FARM VEHICLES
(GREY BRUCE, ON) – As harvest season continues across Grey and Bruce counties, the Grey Bruce Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is reminding all road users to be alert and patient when encountering slow-moving vehicles, including farm machinery and horse-drawn buggies.
With crops being taken off the fields, residents can expect to see an increase in agricultural equipment traveling on local roads. These vehicles are often large, slow, and may take up more than one lane. Drivers are urged to exercise caution, reduce speed, and only pass when it is safe and legal to do so.
Additionally, horse-drawn buggies are a common sight in our rural communities. These vehicles are not equipped with modern safety features and are vulnerable in high-speed traffic environments. Motorists should:
· Slow down when approaching from behind.
· Leave plenty of space when passing.
· Avoid honking, which can startle horses and create dangerous situations.
· Be patient-a few extra seconds can prevent a serious collision.
Farmers are reminded to ensure their equipment is properly marked with a Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) sign, and to use lights and signals when traveling on public roadways. Visibility is key to keeping everyone safe.
“Sharing the road is a responsibility we all have,” said Provincial Constable Kody Lyons of the Grey Bruce OPP. “Whether you’re driving a car, operating farm equipment, or using a horse and buggy, safety starts with awareness and respect.”
