60 Safety rules when operating
Travelling and operating (working) on a
public road
As a machine operator you are considered to be a road user and
therefore required to know and follow local regulations and
national traffic regulations.
It is important to bear in mind that the machine, in comparison with
the rest of the traffic, is a slow moving and wide vehicle, which may
cause obstruction. Bear this in mind and pay attention to the traffic
behind you. Facilitate overtaking.
Working lights, rotating beacon or hazard flashers must not to be
used when travelling on public roads unless local regulations have
other provisions.
Road signs, traffic restricting arrangements and other safety
devices, which may be required when considering traffic speed
and intensity or other local conditions, must be used.
Rotating beacon may be used:
– when the vehicle constitutes a hindrance or danger to other
traffic
– when working on or by the side of the roadway.
