Slow-Moving Vehicle Emblems Are Needed
Wisconsin officials urge farmers and road machinery operators to display the slow speed vehicle emblem starting January 1, 1970. The fluorescent triangular emblem improves daytime and nighttime visibility and flags vehicles traveling under 25 mph on highways. The law applies to tractors and farm machinery, requires placement on the rear, and allows flexible mounting without posts. Emblems are available through the Bureau of Highway Safety and local dealers, with 4H and Future Farmer chapters selling them locally.
