What is an "emergency triangle"?
An emergency triangle is a reflective warning device used by drivers to alert others of a vehicle breakdown or emergency situation. It is typically a triangular shape and is placed on the road at a safe distance behind the vehicle to warn oncoming traffic. The bright colors and reflective surface make it visible, especially in low-light or hazardous conditions. The purpose of an emergency triangle is to help prevent accidents by giving drivers ample time to react and avoid a stopped vehicle, ensuring safety for everyone on the road.
Example
The emergency triangle should be placed a safe distance away from your vehicle, typically about 50 meters on a straight road and 100 meters on a curve.
In low visibility conditions such as fog or heavy rain, the effectiveness of an emergency triangle can be enhanced by turning on your hazard lights as well.
Remember to retrieve the emergency triangle when you leave so that it does n't pose a hazard to other road users.
