How Far Should the Temporary Warning Sign Be Placed on the Highway?
1 Answers
When temporarily parking a passenger vehicle on the highway due to a breakdown, a warning sign should be placed 150 meters behind the vehicle, and the authorities should be contacted immediately if necessary. The specific steps are as follows: When a vehicle suddenly breaks down during operation, the hazard warning flashers should be turned on immediately to alert following vehicles to maintain a safe distance. Observe the road conditions behind the vehicle through the rearview mirror, and if possible, move the malfunctioning vehicle to the emergency lane and park it steadily. To avoid secondary accidents and injuries, all unrelated passengers must evacuate the highway as quickly as possible after the vehicle is parked, waiting for rescue outside the guardrail and keeping a safe distance from the malfunctioning vehicle. Placing the warning sign: When parked in the emergency lane, place the warning sign 150 meters behind the vehicle; if it is indeed impossible to park in the emergency lane, place the warning sign 150 to 200 meters behind the vehicle during the day and 250 to 300 meters at night. The breakdown warning sign is a triangle stand carried in the vehicle. Where should the triangle warning sign be placed on the road? The purpose of the triangle warning sign is to alert following vehicles that there is a traffic accident or unexpected situation ahead in this lane, so they should detour in advance. Therefore, the triangle warning sign must be placed within the lane where the vehicle is located. If the vehicle is parked in the emergency stopping lane, the sign should be placed slightly to the left in the lane behind the vehicle.
