Where must the slow-moving emblem be positioned on vehicles?

The slow-moving emblem must be positioned between 4 to 12 feet above the road surface to ensure visibility to other drivers. This height range allows the emblem to be seen by vehicles traveling at higher speeds while maintaining a clear line of sight over other obstacles on the road, such as smaller vehicles or roadside elements. Proper positioning is critical for safety, as the emblem is designed to alert other motorists of the presence of a vehicle that is moving significantly slower than the typical speed of traffic, thereby reducing the risk of accidents.

Putting the emblem too low, such as at ground level, would not provide adequate visibility, rendering it ineffective. Conversely, positioning it too high could also obscure the emblem, negating its purpose. Thus, maintaining the specified height ensures that the warning is both effective and compliant with safety regulations.
