Ohio Emblems Now Required Daytime On Slow-Moving Farm Machinery
Ohio law now requires triangular SMV emblems on farm machinery designed to run at 25 mph or less to be visible from the rear during daytime and nighttime driving. Emblems mount three to five feet above the road and vehicles must also display front white and rear red lights. flashing red lights are optional. The change, part of a bill passed by the General Assembly, aims to reduce daytime rear-end collisions on open highways, with a December completion for the county safety survey.
