Explanation
If you see a vehicle displaying a fluorescent orange triangle with a reflective red border, it indicates a slow-moving vehicle. Always respond to this sign with caution and slow down. If you need to overtake a slower-moving vehicle on a two-lane, two-way road, use the left lane, which is for oncoming traffic.
