How many meters away should a vehicle breakdown warning be placed?
1 Answers
Warning signs for vehicle breakdowns should be placed between 50 to 100 meters behind the vehicle. Road safety regulations stipulate: 1. When a motor vehicle breaks down on the road and needs to stop to fix the issue: the driver should immediately turn on the hazard warning lights and move the vehicle to a location that does not obstruct traffic. 2. For vehicles that are difficult to move: hazard warning lights should remain on, and warning signs should be set up in the direction of oncoming traffic to increase the warning distance. If necessary, call the police promptly. Here are some additional details: The maximum speed should not exceed 30 kilometers per hour in the following situations: 1. When entering or exiting a non-motorized lane, passing through a railway crossing, sharp curves, narrow roads, or narrow bridges; 2. When making a U-turn, turning, or descending a steep slope; 3. In fog, rain, snow, dust storms, or hail with visibility less than 50 meters; 4. When driving on icy or muddy roads; 5. When towing a malfunctioning motor vehicle.
