A Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem is readily identifiable with farm machinery. The design, use and applicability of the SMV emblem were established by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers. The purpose of the SMV emblem is to communicate to people in other vehicles on the road that the vehicle displaying the SMV is only capable of speeds 25 miles per hour or less. Most farmers are familiar with the SMV emblems, which consist of a fluorescent, orange equilateral triangle with a red retro-reflective.Never even heard of this sign. Wonder if Tennessee even has them or if they arnt enforced around here
Are you talking about the orange/red triangle thing?
Tennessee law does not require the use of the SMV emblem on any tractor or implement except cotton trailers. Cotton trailers must be equipped with a SMV emblem on the rear or lower left corner on the back of the trailer along with a red light.
