🚜🚗 Rural Road Safety Awareness Week is July 13–17! 🌾

Whether you're driving a car, riding a bike, operating farm equipment, walking, or sharing the road with large trucks, we all play a role in keeping rural roads safe.

This year's theme, "The Rural Modes," highlights the many ways people travel on rural roadways and reminds us that every road user deserves to get home safely. Rural roads account for a disproportionate number of fatal crashes, making safe driving habits more important than ever.

✅ Slow down and obey speed limits.
✅ Stay alert and avoid distractions.
✅ Be patient when sharing the road with farm equipment, bicyclists, and other slow-moving vehicles.
✅ Always buckle up.
