Slow Moving Vehicles

Creating safety and awareness around slow moving vehicles.

Be Aware Reducing Motor Vehicle Crashes is a Shared Responsibility

As drivers, we must safely share the road with a variety of other users. These include slow moving vehicles such as agricultural and construction equipment as well as animal-drawn vehicles. The “slow-moving vehicle” symbol, a reflective orange triangle, must be displayed on the back of vehicles that travel less than 40 mph. You should know how to safely manage the issues these vehicles can present, such as differing sizes and slower traveling speeds.
