When stopped on a divided highway, where should the reflectors be placed?

When a vehicle is stopped on a divided highway, it is essential to properly set up reflectors to enhance visibility and ensure safety for both the driver and approaching traffic. The correct placement of reflectors should be at distances of 10 feet, 100 feet, and 200 feet towards approaching traffic.

This specific arrangement provides a clear and gradual warning to other drivers about the presence of a stopped vehicle. The closest reflector at 10 feet is immediately visible to oncoming traffic, while the ones placed further away at 100 feet and 200 feet allow drivers ample time to react and slow down or change lanes, reducing the risk of an accident. By following this guideline, drivers contribute to a safer roadway environment, particularly in situations where visibility may be compromised or during low-light conditions.

Other options do not provide adequate warning for approaching traffic, potentially leading to dangerous situations.
