Slow Moving Vehicle Sign Products for Safer Roads
When it comes to road safety, every sign matters—especially for those operating at reduced speeds. Our slow moving vehicle sign options are designed to protect both the driver and other road users by increasing visibility and communication. Whether you're dealing with agricultural equipment, construction vehicles, or even a horse-drawn cart, displaying a proper SMV sign is essential.
What Is a Slow Moving Vehicle Sign?
A slow moving vehicle sign (also referred to as an SMV emblem) is a safety product required on vehicles that travel under 25 mph on public roads. The classic orange triangle bordered with red is a universally recognized symbol that alerts others of your reduced speed. This sign is not optional in most jurisdictions—it’s a required safety measure that helps reduce traffic collisions and protect vulnerable equipment.
Reflective Materials for Maximum Visibility
Our SMV signs are made from high-grade reflective material to ensure they remain visible during both day and night conditions. Many of our designs use fluorescent orange and high-contrast red borders for increased effectiveness in poor lighting or inclement weather. For additional reliability, we also offer signs crafted with durable metal and corrosion-resistant hardware, perfect for long-term outdoor exposure.
Sign Kits and Mounting Hardware
We carry comprehensive SMV sign kits that include all necessary mounting hardware. These kits are ideal for new vehicle setups or for replacing outdated signs. Choose from metal backings, steel brackets, and weatherproof screws designed to hold up against rugged road conditions and long-term construction activity.
Product Materials and Construction
Durability is key when selecting the right product for your vehicle sign. Our SMV emblems are available in a variety of materials to suit your needs—lightweight plastic for temporary use, or robust steel for heavy-duty demands. Each part is manufactured with longevity in mind, including the reflective surface, mounting plate, and fasteners. All products are compliant with national safety regulations and optimized for field use.
Use Cases for SMV Signs
A slow moving vehicle sign isn't just for tractors. These products are essential for a wide range of vehicles including: agricultural machinery, road maintenance equipment, horse-drawn wagons, and small construction trailers. If you operate in rural areas, work in agriculture, or drive in road maintenance zones, an SMV sign is a required safety investment.

Color and Visibility Requirements
To comply with modern road safety guidelines, each slow moving vehicle sign we offer features a fluorescent orange center with a bold red border—ensuring maximum visual impact. This color scheme enhances contrast in all lighting situations. Whether you need a basic triangle sign or a full kit with additional hardware, you’ll find a product that meets your needs while promoting optimal visibility.
Choose the Right SMV Sign Product
Not all SMV products are built the same. Consider where the sign will be mounted, what type of vehicle or trailer it will be attached to, and the environmental exposure it will face. For frequent outdoor usage, we recommend steel-backed models or reflective signs with UV-resistant coatings.
