Question 3387

Must a vehicle stopped on the shoulder because of a breakdown be marked with warning signals?

  1. No, because the vehicle is not on the roadway.
  2. No, because the place where it has been stopped is appropriate for this type of situation.
  3. Yes, with the vehicle's hazard lights, the connected V-16 warning light, and, when applicable, position lights.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, with the vehicle's hazard lights, the connected V-16 warning light, and, when applicable, position lights.

A breakdown on the shoulder must also be signaled. Turn on the hazard lights and, if visibility is poor, the position lights. Also place the connected V-16 warning light, which has replaced warning triangles since 2026.
