Who This Is For
This essential safety decal is engineered specifically for Canadian farmers, agricultural contractors, and municipal works crews who navigate public roadways. Whether you are harvesting crops in southern Ontario during the busy autumn rush or clearing snow in northern communities, this sign is mandatory for any vehicle traveling slower than standard traffic flow. It is the ideal solution for equipment owners who refuse to compromise on safety standards and require a product that withstands our unique climate while meeting strict provincial regulations. If you operate farm implements, construction machinery, or animal-drawn vehicles on public streets, this is the compliance tool you need.Materials and Durability
Built to endure the harshest Canadian weather conditions, our signs are fabricated using high-grade, UV-stabilized materials that resist fading, cracking, and peeling. The reflective surface maintains its brilliant orange and red colour intensity even after prolonged exposure to freezing temperatures, road salt, and intense summer sun. Our production team meticulously applies a rugged, weather-resistant clear protective layer to every unit, ensuring the graphic remains legible and adherent through years of heavy-duty use. Unlike inferior imports that delaminate after a single season, our tactical-grade decals are tested to perform reliably from coast to coast, providing long-term value and unwavering safety performance. Do not wait for a close call to upgrade your equipment's visibility. Secure your compliance and protect your team today by adding this vital safety component to your fleet.

Product authority snapshot
| Specification | Requirement | Primary reference |
|---|---|---|
| Live product offers | The current product has two sellable choices: Standard SMV Triangle (reflective), product code CL-SMV-STD, at $69.99 CAD and SMV Triangle + Mounting Bracket, product code CL-SMV-BRK, at $99.99 CAD. | Current product, option and media record, verified 2026-07-18 |
| Product-specification boundary | The live product record does not state the finished sign dimensions, rigid base construction, prescribed retro-reflective brightness values or a conformity monogram. The current media shows an orange-and-red triangular sign, but an image does not establish conformity with Regulation 616. | current product record compared with R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 616, sections 1 and 5 |
| Vehicles covered by the duty | Ontario's Highway Traffic Act identifies farm tractors, self-propelled implements of husbandry, motor vehicles towing an implement of husbandry, road-building machines and specified vehicles not capable of attaining and sustaining more than 40 km/h on level ground as slow-moving vehicles for section 76. | Ontario Highway Traffic Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, subsection 76(2) |
| Rear display when towing | Section 76 requires the sign at the rear of the slow-moving vehicle when nothing is towed, or at the rear of the rearmost trailer, implement of husbandry or other towed device when one or more are being towed. | Ontario Highway Traffic Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, subsection 76(1) |
| Prescribed sign construction | Regulation 616 specifies a base-down equilateral triangle with a fluorescent yellow-orange centre and dark red retro-reflective border, using the dimensions in its official figure. It also requires the sign to be bonded to a durable rigid weatherproof-base surface and the border material to meet the regulation's brightness schedule. | R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 616, section 1 and Schedule |
| Mounting and rear visibility | The prescribed sign is mounted base down, perpendicular to the direction of travel and, where practicable, at the rear centre of mass. Regulation 616 sets a height from one-half metre to 2 metres above the roadway and requires clear rear visibility for at least 150 metres. | R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 616, section 2 |
| Keep the sign visible | The sign must be free from dirt and obstruction, plainly visible at all times and not obscured by the vehicle, an attachment or the load. | R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 616, section 3 |
| Use restrictions | The Act provides a direct-crossing exception, prohibits displaying the sign on or near a fixed object where it is readily visible from a highway, prohibits attaching it to a vehicle that is not a slow-moving vehicle and prohibits operating over 40 km/h with the sign attached. | Ontario Highway Traffic Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, subsections 76(3), 76(4), 76(6) and 76(6.1) |
| Conformity evidence | Regulation 616 states that a sign marked with the Canadian Standards Association Testing Laboratories monogram is deemed to meet the regulation. The current product record and media do not identify such a mark, so this listing cannot use it as conformity evidence. | R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 616, section 5 |
Questions buyers ask
Which Ontario vehicles need a slow-moving vehicle sign?
Highway Traffic Act subsection 76(2) covers farm tractors, self-propelled implements of husbandry, motor vehicles towing an implement of husbandry, road-building machines and specified vehicles that cannot attain and sustain more than 40 km/h on level ground when operated on a highway.
Does this product record prove that the sign meets Ontario Regulation 616?
No. The current product record does not provide finished dimensions, rigid base construction, brightness test values or a conformity monogram. Confirm those physical specifications for the current inventory before relying on the sign for Ontario highway use.
What shape and colours does Regulation 616 prescribe?
Regulation 616 specifies a base-down equilateral triangle with a fluorescent yellow-orange centre and dark red retro-reflective border, in the proportions and dimensions shown in the regulation's official figure.
Where is the sign mounted when equipment is towing an implement?
Highway Traffic Act subsection 76(1) places the sign at the rear of the rearmost trailer, implement of husbandry or other device being towed. The bracket option does not determine the legally correct position by itself.
What mounting height and visibility does Ontario prescribe?
Regulation 616 sets the sign between one-half metre and 2 metres above the roadway and requires it to be clearly visible for at least 150 metres from the rear. It must be base down and perpendicular to the direction of travel.
Can I put an SMV triangle on a mailbox or driveway marker?
Not where it is readily visible from a highway. Highway Traffic Act subsection 76(4) prohibits placing a slow-moving vehicle sign on or near a fixed object in that situation.
Can a vehicle travel over 40 km/h with the sign attached?
No. Highway Traffic Act subsection 76(6.1) prohibits operating a slow-moving vehicle on a highway at more than 40 km/h when the sign is attached to it or its towed equipment.
What is included in the two live product options?
The $69.99 CAD option is named Standard SMV Triangle (reflective). The $99.99 CAD option is named SMV Triangle + Mounting Bracket. The live record does not define bracket dimensions, fit or included fasteners.

| Highway use | Current media shows an orange-and-red reflective triangle form. | A product image is not dimensional, material or photometric evidence under Regulation 616. |
