§47-149.1.
   
   (A) The triangular yellow-orange and red slow moving vehicle emblem
   shall be recognized as the official state slow moving vehicle emblem.
   
   (B) All farm machinery and other machinery including all road
   construction and maintenance machinery designed to operate and
   operating at a maximum speed of twenty-five (25) MPH, or less,
   traveling on a public highway during day or night shall display a slow
   moving vehicle emblem on the rear of the vehicle except when such
   machinery is engaged in actual construction or maintenance work and
   there is either a flagman or clearly visible warning signs to warn of
   such machinery's presence on the roadway; and all vehicles classified
   as "antiques" under existing state statutes are exempt from the
   requirements of this section. The emblem shall be positioned as near
   as practicable to the center of the machinery, provided however, that
   in the case of a string of farm machinery or implements being towed
   only one clearly visible emblem must be displayed. The Commissioner of
   Public Safety shall adopt standards and specifications in conformance
   with those recommendations of the American Society of Agricultural
   Engineers for the size and design of said emblem.
   
   (C) The use of such emblem shall be in addition to any lighting
   devices or other equipment required by law. Use on any other type of
   vehicle or as a clearance marker or on wide machinery or on stationary
   objects on the highways is prohibited.
   
   (D) Any person who violates the provisions of this act is guilty of a
   misdemeanor and shall be subject to a fine of not more than Ten
   Dollars ($10.00).
