Corn Harvest Brings Heightened Road Risks, Police Urge Caution

The nationwide corn harvest is in full swing, bringing with it increased risks on the roads. Police urge caution for all road users in agricultural areas as large vehicles and harvest-related hazards pose significant dangers.

Cornfields are now teeming with activity, but these areas also present potential hazards. Entrances and exits are danger zones that require extra attention from drivers. Meanwhile, large agricultural vehicles, wider than usual, are causing critical situations on narrow streets and in tight urban passages.

Dirty roads and corn debris further exacerbate the risks. The police warn that the risk of traffic accidents is significantly higher around fields and harvesting areas during this period. They urge caution for harvest drivers, car drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians. Additionally, wild animal crossings increase during the corn harvest, adding another layer of unpredictability to the mix.

As the corn harvest continues nationwide, it is crucial for all road users to exercise extra vigilance. Load securing should be vigilantly enforced during harvest times to prevent accidents. By staying alert and cautious, we can help ensure the safety of everyone sharing the roads during this busy time.
