What type of vehicles does the 'slow-moving vehicle' term include?

The term 'slow-moving vehicle' specifically refers to vehicles that are designed to operate at speeds of 25 miles per hour or less. This definition is particularly relevant in the context of airport operations, where safety and efficiency are critical due to the presence of various types of vehicles and equipment.

Airport service vehicles, which include tugs, fuel trucks, and maintenance vehicles, often operate within a designated speed limit to ensure the safety of the airport ramp environment. This low-speed operation is crucial to prevent accidents and ensure the protection of personnel working in these areas.

Other vehicle classifications do not fit this definition, as passenger cars can operate at much higher speeds, typically exceeding the threshold of 25 miles per hour, and service vehicles specifically operating over that speed would not be categorized as slow-moving. Likewise, vehicles used by airport mechanics may be categorized based on their design and operating speeds, but the term 'slow-moving vehicle' is explicit in its speed limit criterion.
