Accident Procedures

At a night crash scene on a two-lane road, where should warning triangles go to protect the scene?

  • A.All three stacked in front of the cab
  • B.On the traffic side of the scene, spaced to warn approaching drivers in both directions, with one well behind the vehicle
  • C.Inside the trailer so they stay dry
  • D.Only on the non-traffic side
Correct answer

B. On the traffic side of the scene, spaced to warn approaching drivers in both directions, with one well behind the vehicle

Why

On two-way roads the danger comes from both directions, so devices must cover approaches from front and rear within the prescribed distances. A single cluster in one spot leaves the other approach completely unwarned.
