Orange flags

I'm in search of an orange triangle flag and a way to mount it. Could my local auto parts get me a flag? How and where is the best place to Mount one? There's no place around where I live that requires one but I'm heading a few hours south into central Michigan for an event here in march. And I know basically nothing about the flags setup.

You talking about one of these?

As long as it's visable from the rear, I don't think there is really any regulations about how it's mounted.

A farm supply such as tractor supply or Southern states should carry them.

Auto Parts Store do carry them. NAPA LIT 797 is a 16" x 14" triangle, or the Tractor Supply style stores would have them as well

if you are talking about running a motor vehicle that is required to have license plates to be driven on a public road way the slow moving vehicle sign is not legal in place of those tags. at least where i live

I'm looking for the flag on a pole. It's a orange flag mounted to the end of a 10? Foot fiberglass type of thing. Like they have at dunes on the trucks
