April showers bring May mowers to Missouri right of way.

oDOT mows about 500,000 acres of grass each year, equal to 380,000 football fields. Starting in May, drivers should be on the lookout for slow-moving trucks and tractors with flashing lights indicating mowing operations ahead. Be prepared to stop or slow down behind a mower's "follow" truck, especially on rural routes, and obey no-passing zones. You can Report a Road Concern for grass and weeds blocking visibility along state roads.
