Large tractor with harvesting equipment on a Flemish road during harvest season, with long shadows from the low sun.

In the coming weeks, more tractors and harvesting machines will be on the roads due to the harvest season, requiring extra attention from road users.

Our farmers are busy with the harvest. As a result, there will be more tractors, harvesting machines, and other agricultural vehicles on our roads in the coming weeks. These vehicles are often large, wide, and travel slower than other traffic.
The Municipality of Moorslede therefore asks all road users for extra attention and patience. Keep sufficient distance, adjust your speed, and only overtake when it is completely safe and permitted.
Also, keep in mind that agricultural machinery often requires more space to enter or exit a field or to take a turn. Furthermore, be extra alert near cyclists, pedestrians, and intersections.
With mutual respect and understanding, we can together ensure that everyone can travel safely and that our farmers can carry out their important work smoothly and securely.
