2.15 Subdivision 1.Displaying emblem; rules.(a) All animal-drawn vehicles, motorized​
2.16 golf carts when operated on designated roadways pursuant to section 169.045, implements​
2.17 of husbandry, and other machinery, including all road construction machinery, which are​
2.18 designed for operation at a speed of 30 35 miles per hour or less, must display a triangular​
2.19 slow-moving vehicle emblem, except (1) when being used in actual construction and​
2.20 maintenance work and traveling within the limits of a construction area marked in accordance​
2.21 with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, as set forth in section 169.06, or (2)​
2.22 for a towed implement of husbandry that is empty and that is not self-propelled, in which​
2.23 case it may be towed at lawful speeds greater than 30 35 miles per hour without removing​
