Increase Slow Moving Vehicle Visibility

As harvest time is quickly approaching, it is important to inspect Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblems to ensure that they are clean, colorful and reflective. SMV signs that have been manufactured within the last 10 years should contain reflective material. If the sign is over 10 years old, it may be a good idea to consider replacing it with a newer more reflective emblem. 

You can buy SMV emblem signs as well as replacement decals at farm supply stores.

Also be sure that all headlights, taillights and warning lights are in working order. For more ideas on increasing your visibility on roadways, click here: Tips for Increasing Visibility


 
And even if you will not be driving a tractor or other farm machinery this harvest season, remember that more of these vehicles will be on the roadways soon. Take extra precaution in late afternoon and evenings while driving along our winding county and township roads. And be patient. Easier said than done, I know, but your safe driving can ensure a safe harvest season for us all.
