When a vehicle is disabled near a curve, how far must the warning signal be placed?

When a vehicle is disabled near a curve, the warning signal must be placed at a distance of 100 feet to 500 feet from the disabled vehicle. This distance is important because it provides adequate warning to approaching drivers, allowing them to react and maneuver safely around the obstruction.

Placing warning signals too close can result in insufficient time for drivers to slow down or change lanes, leading to potential accidents. Conversely, placing the signal too far away may not give drivers adequate information about the hazard. Therefore, the specified range of 100 to 500 feet strikes a balance, ensuring safety on the road while providing enough warning in situations such as curves where visibility may be limited.
