Photo of a vanagon with a special orange striped
flashing warning sign to alert other drivers to the
slow-moving vehicle.
Thought it was a good idea, and could increase safety,

especially going up mountain passes and/or in the fog
or rain.
I wonder how the lights would be rigged up.
Maybe to go on with the brake lights? Or tail lights?
Or separate flashers with a separate switch in the
dash
to turn them on?
I'm considering making one for our 90 westy.
Here's the photo:
