Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

According to General Traffic Regulations, any driver who creates an obstacle or hazard on the road (such as fallen cargo) is obligated to remove it as soon as possible. If immediate removal is not possible, they must take necessary measures to signal and protect the area (hazard lights, warning triangles or V-16 beacon, reflective vest) to ensure visibility for other users and prevent accidents. Continuing to drive without warning is serious negligence, and completely blocking traffic should only occur if the blockage is physically inevitable due to the nature of the accident.
