In the event of a routine accident, how far should the warning triangle be placed from the vehicle?

[OPiper]

In the event of a routine accident, the warning triangle should be placed 50 to 100 meters behind the vehicle. Other scenarios: If an accident occurs on the highway, the warning sign should be set up more than 150 meters behind the vehicle. In case of rain or fog, the distance should be increased to 200 meters. On highways, the warning sign should be placed at least 150 meters away in the direction of oncoming traffic, and at night, it should be placed 250 meters away. Precautions: If the warning sign is placed less than 10 meters from the accident site, it will hardly serve any warning purpose. If a following vehicle is too close and cannot react in time, it can easily lead to a secondary accident.
