Few early roadside signs carried a picture of a woman at the wheel, but this yellow diamond shows a tractor and a female driver in silhouette, a reminder that farm machinery was never only a man's domain. Diamond-shaped yellow signs have long been the standard shape for cautionary warnings on American roads, signaling hazards ahead rather than rules to obey. Signs like this one, warning drivers to watch for slow farm vehicles, grew more common as tractors moved from fields onto public highways during the early and mid twentieth century. Its simple silhouette design makes it easy to read at a glance from a moving car.
