How far must warning signals be placed to the front or rear on the side facing traffic when a vehicle breaks down?

5 ft
10 ft
15 ft
20 ft

The correct answer is: 10 ft

The correct distance for placing warning signals when a vehicle breaks down is 10 feet to the front or rear on the side facing traffic. This guideline is established to provide an adequate warning to oncoming traffic about the presence of a disabled vehicle. By placing warning signals at this distance, drivers approaching the scene have enough time to react and maneuver safely, helping to prevent accidents. This distance strikes a balance between being sufficiently visible to drivers and not being so far away that the warning signals become less effective or unnoticed. Proper placement of warning signals enhances safety for both the driver of the disabled vehicle and other road users.
