How would you mark a bus that needs to be left standing at night on an Inter-urban road?
- Same as any other vehicle.
- Marking is not obligatory, but it must be immediately towed away from the place.
- Correct answer: By placing a warning triangle seen by approaching vehicles from a distance of at least 100 meters, as well as by operating the distress flashers (double indicators).
- By placing a warning triangle seen by approaching vehicles from a distance of at least 50 meters, accompanied by a flickering yellow light seen from a distance of 100 meters.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: By placing a warning triangle seen by approaching vehicles from a distance of at least 100 meters, as well as by operating the distress flashers (double indicators).
A bus stopped at night on an inter-urban road is a large hazard, because drivers behind are moving fast and see less in the dark. That is why it must be marked both by a warning triangle visible from at least 100 meters and by turning on the distress flashers. Planning to have it towed away never removes the duty to warn approaching traffic.
