You have been forced to stop on a two-way road with a single lane each way, and a hill keeps drivers approaching from behind from seeing your vehicle. What is the greatest distance behind your vehicle at which you may need to place a warning triangle?

Answer options

Why

On a two-way road the rear triangle normally goes about 100 feet back, but when a hill or curve keeps approaching drivers from seeing your vehicle in time, move it back beyond the obstruction, as far as 500 feet, so they get enough warning.
