At what distance should the warning triangle be placed for a breakdown on any road other than an autobahn?

50 meters (150 feet)
100 meters (300 feet)
150 meters (450 feet)
200 meters (660 feet)

The correct answer is: 100 meters (300 feet)

The correct distance for placing the warning triangle during a breakdown on roads other than an autobahn is 100 meters, or approximately 300 feet. This distance is intended to provide ample warning to approaching vehicles, allowing sufficient time for drivers to see the triangle and react accordingly to the hazard. When signaling a breakdown, visibility is crucial, particularly on busy roadways where speed may be high. By positioning the warning triangle at this distance, it ensures that it is far enough away from the vehicle to alert other drivers well in advance, yet close enough to inform them of the exact location of the breakdown. This practice not only enhances road safety for the stranded vehicle occupants but also for other road users. In contrast, shorter distances may not provide adequate warning, putting both the stranded vehicle and approaching motorists at increased risk of an accident.
