Difficulty: EasyAccident Procedures

Following an incident where your vehicle is stopped on the shoulder of a straight, divided multi-lane highway, at what distances must the three reflective warning triangles be positioned?

  1. 10 feet, 100 feet, and 200 feet behind the vehicle toward approaching trafficAnswer
  2. B
    100 feet in front of the vehicle, 10 feet behind, and 100 feet behind
  3. C
    25 feet, 50 feet, and 100 feet behind the vehicle toward approaching traffic
  4. D
    10 feet, 100 feet, and 200 feet ahead of the vehicle in the direction of travel

Answer

10 feet, 100 feet, and 200 feet behind the vehicle toward approaching traffic
When stopped on the shoulder of a divided highway or one-way road, all three reflective triangles must be placed behind the vehicle toward approaching traffic at distances of 10 feet, 100 feet, and 200 feet.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the roadway type specified in the scenario
The roadway is a straight, divided multi-lane highway with one-way traffic flow relative to the vehicle's direction.
Roadway configuration determines whether warning devices must cover one direction or both directions.
2
Apply the regulatory placement distances for divided highways
Place warning devices at 10 feet, 100 feet, and 200 feet to the rear of the stopped vehicle.
All approaching traffic comes from behind on a divided highway, so all three devices must provide progressive advance warning to the rear.
