If warning devices are not visible from 500 feet, what should the driver do?

When warning devices are not visible from a distance of 500 feet, it is essential for the driver to move them further out. The purpose of these warning devices, such as flares or reflective triangles, is to alert other drivers to a stopped vehicle, especially in situations where visibility may be limited. Ensuring that these devices are placed at the appropriate distance enhances safety by giving approaching vehicles enough time to react and avoid potential collisions.

Moving the devices further out ensures that they fulfill their intended purpose effectively by being in a position where they can be easily seen by traffic. This action helps maintain a safe environment not only for the driver of the stopped vehicle but also for other road users.
