Street care and cleaning Farming and the highway

Farming is an important industry in our rural county. As a result, tractors are a frequent sight on our roads.

Farming and the Public Highway: a Code of Practice outlines how the cooperation of the farming community is vital in helping us to keep our roads safe for all. The code provides information on:

• Mud on the highways
  
• Maintaining ditches and drains
  
• Maintaining adjacent hedges
  
• Crop irrigation and smoke
  
• Agricultural vehicles on the road
  
• The use of agricultural road signs
