It is critically important to know the correct placement for your TurboFlare when you need to use them in an emergency situation. Proper placement is key to maximizing visibility and keeping you and other drivers safe.
Proper TurboFlare Placement for Roadside Safety
When using your TurboFlare, follow these guidelines for optimal warning distance:
• Immediate Hazard: Place your first TurboFlare approximately 3 meters (10 feet) directly behind your vehicle to clearly mark your immediate location.
• Advance Warning: If you have additional flares or warning triangles, place one about 30 meters (100 feet) back, and another at 60 meters (200 feet). This creates a safety zone and gives oncoming drivers maximum warning time to react.
• Adjust for Conditions: In areas with poor visibility (like fog or heavy rain) or on high-speed roadways, you should increase the spacing between the flares.
• Visibility Around Obstacles: Always position flares before curves or the crest of hills so drivers are warned of the hazard before they are upon it.
