R O A D S I D E E M E R G E N C Y
A roadside emergency can happen at any time. ALWAYS carry an emergency kit with three
red warning signs (or indicators) to display if necessary.
If you must make an emergency roadside stop:
• Pull off the road as far as possible.
• Turn ON the hazard warning flashers (or hazard lights) to alert other drivers.
• The hazard warning flashers warn passing drivers to approach and overtake your vehicle
with caution.
Use the three red warning indicators (signs, reflectors, lanterns, or road flares) as follows:
Place the 1st indicator 10 feet behind the RV on the off-door (or road) side.
Place the 2nd indicator 100 feet behind the RV in the center of the lane.
Place the 3rd indicator 100 feet in front of the RV in the center of the lane.
• 10 feet = 4 paces, 100 feet = 40 paces
• Curves and/or hills may affect the safe placement of the warning indicators.
For your personal safety, ALWAYS stand off the road and away from traffic.
