Official statutory text
A. The triangular yellow-orange and red slow moving vehicle
emblem which meets the standards and specifications of the American
Society of Agricultural Engineers, ASAE S276.3, Slow-Moving Vehicle
Identification Emblem, shall be recognized as the official slow-
moving vehicle emblem of this state.
B. 1. All farm machinery, other machinery including all road
construction and maintenance machinery, and all other vehicles and
animal-drawn vehicles designed to operate and operating at a maximum
speed of no more than twenty-five (25) miles per hour traveling on a
highway during day or night shall display a slow-moving vehicle
emblem on the rear of the vehicle.
2. When such road construction and maintenance machinery is
engaged in actual construction or maintenance work and there is
either a flagman or clearly visible warning signs to warn of such
machinery's presence on the roadway are exempt from the requirements
of this section.
C. The emblem shall be positioned as near as practicable to the
center on the rear of the vehicle or machinery; provided however,
that in the case of a string of farm machinery or implements being
towed only one clearly visible emblem must be displayed on the
rearmost vehicle.
D. The use of such emblem shall be in addition to any lighting
devices or other equipment required by law. The failure on the part
of an owner or driver of any nonmotor vehicle to display the emblem
required in this section shall not relieve the operator of a motor
vehicle from negligence in the event of a collision. No person
shall use the slow-moving vehicle emblem except as required in this
section.
E. The evidence as to the use of such emblem or the lack of the
use of such emblem shall not be admissible in the trial of any case.
