When a motor vehicle breaks down on the highway, the warning sign should be placed 150 meters away from the direction of oncoming traffic. Below is a detailed introduction to the placement of accident warning signs: 1. Relevant laws and regulations: According to Article 68 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, when a motor vehicle breaks down on the highway, the provisions of Article 52 of this Law shall apply. However, the warning sign should be placed 150 meters away from the direction of oncoming traffic, and the occupants should quickly move to the right shoulder or emergency lane and promptly call the police. 2. Accident handling measures: When a motor vehicle breaks down on the road and needs to be stopped to fix the issue, 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, and warning signs should be placed in the direction of oncoming traffic to increase the warning distance. If necessary, the police should be called promptly.
