HERE IS WHAT THE TENNESSEE STATE LAW IS REGARDING THE ORANGE TRIANGLE (SMV
EMBLEM).

____ Slow-Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem must be mounted on the rear of
employee-operated vehicles
                     travelling at speeds of less than 25 mph (this is an
OSHA requirement, not a highway law). The
                     SMV emblem is an identification emblem only - it is not
a substitute for proper lighting and is not
                     recognized by Tennessee highway laws except on cotton
wagons in combination with tail lights.
