How many meters away should the vehicle breakdown warning sign be placed on the highway?

On the highway, the vehicle breakdown warning sign should be placed at least 150 meters away from the broken-down vehicle in the direction of approaching traffic. The method for folding the warning sign: 1. Pull out one side of the support stand and remove the buckle at the top of the triangular warning sign; 2. After opening the top of the triangular warning sign, place it on both sides of the bottom support stand; 3. Insert the support stand into the storage slot of the lower bracket; 4. Place the other two support stands on the opposite side of the triangular warning sign into the storage slot. The vehicle warning sign is a passive reflector made of plastic reflective material. When a driver encounters a sudden breakdown requiring parking for repairs or an accident on the road, the reflective properties of the warning sign can alert other vehicles to take evasive action, thereby preventing secondary accidents.

I've been driving on highways for over 20 years, and this issue is crucial because safety comes first. According to traffic regulations, warning signs must be placed at least 150 meters behind the vehicle—never be careless about this. On highways, speeds are high, sometimes exceeding 100 kilometers per hour, and drivers behind need time to react; otherwise, rear-end collisions are likely. I've witnessed several accidents caused by placing the sign too close, resulting in injuries to the vehicle owners. When placing the sign, ensure it's securely positioned in the direction behind the car and won't be blown over by wind, especially in rainy or foggy conditions—placing it 180 meters away is even safer. Remember to first turn on the hazard lights to alert others, then move to the outside of the isolation belt; don't stay near the lane, as it's prone to accidents. Regularly check your warning sign to ensure it's not old or worn out—if it fails, it could cause serious trouble. These distance regulations are lessons learned from blood and tragedy—don't cut corners or be lazy.

As a novice driver, I pay special attention to safety details. On highways, the warning triangle must be placed 150 meters away—this is not just a casual remark. Think about it: if a vehicle behind is approaching at full speed, only this distance can provide enough buffer time to reduce accident risks. I often remind myself to bring the warning triangle when getting in the car and learn how to place it—for example, walking 150 steps against the traffic flow is roughly 150 meters, making it easy to locate. After placing it, immediately turn on the hazard warning lights and call for help without delay. The most important thing is to evacuate to a safe area, such as outside the roadside guardrail, and wait for rescue. The key takeaway is to regularly check the warning triangle—don’t leave it forgotten in a corner of the trunk. Preventing problems before they occur is far better than dealing with them afterward, protecting both yourself and others.

I repeatedly emphasize that warning signs should be placed 150 meters away on highways. There's a reason for this rule - at high speeds, reaction distances are shorter, and 150 meters provides sufficient space for following vehicles to decelerate and avoid collisions. When placing the sign, choose a straight, flat location to ensure stability, and activating hazard lights is mandatory. From a safety perspective, improper placement (such as too close) may lead to chain-reaction collisions and fines. I remind everyone to practice estimating distances using steps or vehicle spacing - for example, highway lanes are about 3 meters wide, so 50 car lengths would be appropriate. Simply implementing these small details can significantly improve driving safety.
