In the daytime, your car stopped just after a right-hand curve on an expressway and you moved it onto the shoulder. Where is the most appropriate place to set up the safety tripod?
💡 Hint
The breakdown warning sign must be placed where drivers approaching from behind the vehicle can see it (Article 40(3) of the Enforcement Rule). Right after a curve, consider that drivers behind will only see your car at the moment they come around the bend.
Answer: ①
Explanation
Article 40(3) of the Enforcement Rules requires the breakdown warning sign to be placed where drivers approaching from behind can see it. Right after a curve, following drivers come upon the stopped car as soon as they round the bend, so the tripod must be placed well behind the car to be seen in advance. Placing it in front of the car or on the roof gives no warning to traffic from behind.
