About this listen

 Alberta (Rural Roots Canada) – Canadian Road Safety Week is underway, and throughout rural Alberta, drivers are being urged to stay alert for farm machinery when travelling along the province’s roads. “Those are large pieces of equipment on the highway, and being aware of them and driving safely around them is critical,” says Jody Wacowich, executive director of AgSafe Alberta. “Right now, all of our farmers are out there moving seeders and other big equipment, trying to get the job done in between rainstorms and whatever else happens.” Wacowich says patience goes a long way when you’re stuck behind slow-moving machinery. “Yeah, they’re moving slow, but they’re not going to be on the road for that long. Just be patient with them and let them get to where they’re going, especially if the conditions aren’t allowing you to pass or get around them very easily. Take a breath, give it a minute or two.”
