Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Yes, it is allowed. The purpose of the hazard warning signal (the simultaneous operation of all direction indicator lights) is to warn other road users that the vehicle represents a temporary danger. Traffic regulations stipulate that it must be used whether the vehicle is immobilized or moving at an abnormally reduced speed due to a breakdown or emergency. This rule applies to both urban and interurban roads.
