What does a "slow moving vehicle" emblem look like?
- A square red sign
- A round green sign
- A diamon-shaped yellow sign
- A triangular orange sign ✓
Answer: D. A triangular orange sign
The slow-moving vehicle emblem is a triangular orange sign, a reflective orange triangle mounted on the back of the vehicle.
Why this is the answer
The handbook describes the slow-moving vehicle symbol as a reflective orange triangle that must be displayed on the back of animal-drawn vehicles, most farm vehicles, and construction equipment. Rural mail delivery vehicles also carry them. So when you see that orange triangle ahead, you are coming up on something traveling slowly, and the manual tells you to use caution and make sure it is safe before you pass.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. A square red sign — A square red sign is not what the manual describes; the slow-moving vehicle symbol is a triangle, not a square, and it is orange.
- B. A round green sign — A round green sign does not match the manual's description of a reflective orange triangle.
- C. A diamon-shaped yellow sign — A diamond-shaped yellow sign does not match; the manual specifies a triangle in orange, not a yellow diamond.
Remember it
Picture the triangle pointing up on the back of a tractor: orange means slow, so ease off and check for a safe pass.
