The 'Dust Code' When a vehicle traveling in the same direction is creating a dust cloud that makes it difficult to see the road ahead, drivers:
-Shall slow down -Shall keep a safe distance from the edge of the dust cloud, far enough back to be able to stop in the distance that can be seen to be clear. -Shall not enter the dust cloud -Shall never overtake in dust. When a vehicle traveling in the opposite direction is creating a dust cloud that makes it difficult to see the road ahead, drivers: -Shall slow down -Shall pull off the road, crossing over the windrow well before entering the dust cloud and keep moving slowly along the hard shoulder and stop completely if necessary. Only when the driver can clearly see the road in both directions should the road be rejoined and the journey continued.
- If it is not possible to leave the road, drivers shall slow to a crawl and drive as close to the windrow as possible. -Shall stop immediately if they become disoriented.
