Wide open, efficient, fast. 5) NO PARKING ZONES will be enforced and tickets will be issued. 2) BE PATIENT – These are rural farm roads that are easily overwhelmed. 6) NO PARKING allowed in travel lane of any public road or on private property. 3) FLAGGERS are there for your safety – Please be courteous to them. 7) PRIVATE LAND The tulip area is all private property. Please respect it. 4) LOOK for designated parking areas – They are next to fields. 8) FARM EQUIPMENT – Slow tractors now ensure a good harvest later. P 9) NO DRONES – Drones are NOT allowed in gardens or tulip fields.
