Warning signs should be placed at least 150 meters away from the direction of oncoming traffic for a malfunctioning vehicle. According to regulations, when a motor vehicle breaks down on the highway and needs to stop to address the malfunction, the driver should immediately turn on the hazard warning lights, move the vehicle to a location that does not obstruct traffic, and park it. If the vehicle is 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, the driver should promptly call for emergency assistance. Passengers should quickly move to the right shoulder or the emergency lane. If a motor vehicle breaks down or is involved in a traffic accident on the highway and cannot be driven normally, it should be towed or pulled by a rescue vehicle or a tow truck.
