After placing warning triangles for a disabled vehicle on a highway, they should be positioned:
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B. At intervals back from the vehicle to give approaching drivers time to slow down
Triangles alert at distance — typical placement is 30 m, 50 m, and 100 m back from the disabled vehicle so successive drivers see a layered warning. At night add flares if available. Always place triangles only when it is safe to walk behind the vehicle.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A.Inside the vehicleTriangles inside the vehicle are useless.
- C.In front of the vehicle onlyRear-only placement alerts drivers; front-only does not.
- D.At the vehicle's doorsTriangles at the doors do not alert approaching traffic.
