A:
Having a moving LED sign in the rear window of your Silverado is generally allowed as long as it doesn't obstruct your view or violate specific local laws. The key thing to consider is whether the sign could be considered a distraction to other drivers or if it interferes with your visibility through the rear window. Since your window isn't blocked, you're likely in compliance with basic visibility regulations.
However, laws regarding vehicle signage can vary by state and municipality. Some areas may have restrictions on the size, brightness, or content of moving signs, especially if they could be seen as a distraction or resemble emergency lights. It's important to check your local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or equivalent agency to understand any specific rules in your area.
It would be wise to ensure that your LED sign doesn't flash excessively or display offensive content, as these are common restrictions. Staying within the guidelines can help you avoid fines or penalties. When in doubt, checking with local traffic enforcement can provide clarity and keep you on the right side of the law.
