Slow Moving Vehicles

Slow Moving Vehicles (SMVs) are all vehicles that operate at 25 mph or less, including:

  • Tractors;
  • Self-propelled farm equipment;
  • Road construction and maintenance machinery; and,
  • Animal-powered vehicles.

NYS Law requires vehicles that travel 25 mph or less to have a SMV emblem:

  • Placed in the middle of the back end;
  • Located two to six feet above the road; and
  • Kept clean and replace when faded.

Each piece of agricultural equipment, whether self-propelled or used in combination, shall separately display a slow-moving vehicle emblem.

It is illegal to put SMV emblems on stationary objects – such as mailboxes or driveway posts.
