(1) Every
farm tractor, self-propelled unit of farm equipment, implement of husbandry
designed for operation at speeds not in excess of twenty-five miles per hour
and every combination of farm tractor and towed farm equipment or towed
implement of husbandry normally operated at speeds not in excess of twenty-five
miles per hour must at all times be equipped with a slow-moving vehicle
emblem.
(2) Other classes of
vehicles not covered by
RCW
46.37.160 such as road construction vehicles
and road maintenance vehicles which normally operate at a speed of twenty-five
miles per hour or less may be equipped with slow-moving vehicle emblems meeting
the requirements of this section.
(3) In order to comply with the provisions of
RCW
46.37.160(6), slow-moving
vehicle emblems:
