When stopping on the shoulder of the road, where should you not place warning devices?

When stopping on the shoulder of the road, it is essential to ensure that warning devices are placed in a way that maximizes visibility and safety. The appropriate location for placing warning devices is typically behind the vehicle to alert oncoming traffic.

Placing warning devices on the other side of a divided highway is not advisable because it fails to provide necessary warning to drivers traveling in the same direction as your vehicle. Warning devices need to be positioned where they can effectively alert approaching vehicles to the presence of a stopped vehicle, especially when visibility may be limited. This placement ensures that drivers can react in time to avoid any potential hazards.

In contrast, placing warning devices in front of the vehicle or behind it, as well as at least 200 feet away, are recommended practices to improve visibility and provide adequate warning to other motorists about the stationary vehicle.
