Section 2 --- Driving & Safety

Road flares or reflective warning signs should be displayed if the motorhome is alongside of the
road for any length of time. Guidelines for placing the warning triangles depend upon the road charac-
teristics and visibility. For example: The standard placement is 10 feet, 100 feet and 200 feet from the
rear of the motorhome when on a divided highway or one-way road. On a two-way road, with traffic
traveling both directions, the same placement would also be required at the front of the motorhome.
Roads with curves and hills may require the placement of the last/furthest triangle to be 500 feet
behind the motorhome in order to safely warn approaching traffic.
