Question 5021
If a vehicle is immobilized off the road, must the V-16 hazard warning light device be placed?
- Yes, when the road has two-way traffic.
- Yes, because it is an emergency.
- No, because it does not obstruct traffic.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: No, because it does not obstruct traffic.
No. The V-16 warns of a vehicle stopped on the roadway or a load that has fallen onto it. If the vehicle is already off the road and is not causing an obstruction, you do not need to use it, whether the road has one-way or two-way traffic. In the image, the passenger car is stopped on the grass, off both the roadway and the shoulder.
