In the event of a breakdown on the roadway, is it permitted to place the warning triangles less than 50 meters from the vehicle?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is NO. According to the General Traffic Regulations, hazard warning devices (triangles) must be placed, one in front and one behind the vehicle (or only behind on one-way roads or roads with more than three lanes), at a minimum distance of 50 meters from the broken-down vehicle. Additionally, they must be visible from a distance of at least 100 meters to approaching drivers. Placing them less than 50 meters away reduces the reaction time of other road users and increases the risk of collision.
