§47-11-406.


    A.  A farm tractor, as defined in Section 1-118 of this title, or
any implement of husbandry, as defined in Section 1-125 of this
title, except trailers and semitrailers when operated in accordance
with statutory limits or provisions of Section 14-101 of this title,
shall not be permitted to travel upon any highway in this state which
is a part of the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways.
However, the Department of Public Safety shall have the authority to
permit such travel in certain geographic areas of the state as deemed
necessary.  Such tractor or implement may be operated on any other
roadway in this state if the operator has attached all the safety
devices required by law and has taken reasonable steps to reduce the
width of the tractor or implement as provided for by the
manufacturer.  Whenever the width of a farm tractor or implement of
husbandry exceeds the width of that portion of a roadway on which the
tractor or implement is driven, which is marked as a single lane of
traffic, or, if the roadway has not been marked for lanes of traffic
and the width of the tractor or implement exceeds more than fifty
percent (50%) of the width of the roadway, the operator shall move
the tractor or implement, as soon as possible, as far to the right-
hand side of the roadway as is practicable and safe upon approach of
any oncoming or following vehicle and upon approaching the crest of a
hill.
    B.  Upon the immediate approach of a farm tractor or implement of
husbandry which cannot be moved by the operator thereof to the far
right-hand side of the roadway, as required in subsection A of this
section, due to the existence of any bridge or guardrail, sign or any
other physical impediment which would not safely allow such tractor
or implement to travel on the far right-hand side of the road, the
driver of every other vehicle shall yield the right-of-way and shall
immediately pull over to the far right-hand side of the road and
remain in such position until the tractor or implement has passed.
    C.  This section shall not operate to relieve any operator of a
farm tractor or implement of husbandry from the duty to drive with
due regard for the safety of all persons using the roadway.
