How many meters away should a vehicle breakdown warning sign be placed?
1 Answers
Vehicle breakdown warning signs should be placed between 50 to 100 meters behind the vehicle. Road Safety Laws stipulate: When a motor vehicle breaks down on the road and needs to stop for troubleshooting: the driver should immediately turn on the hazard warning lights and move the vehicle to a place where it does not obstruct traffic. For vehicles that are difficult to move: the hazard warning lights should remain on continuously, 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 guidelines: The maximum speed should not exceed 30 kilometers per hour under the following circumstances: When entering or exiting non-motorized lanes, passing through railway crossings, sharp curves, narrow roads, or narrow bridges; When making U-turns, turning, or descending steep slopes; When encountering fog, rain, snow, dust, or hail with visibility within 50 meters; When driving on icy or muddy roads; When towing a malfunctioning motor vehicle.
