(54) Traffic warning sign


(57) A traffic warning sign, self-supporting, to prevent collisions with vehicles that have had an accident or have broken down, which are stationary on the road.
It is an innovative proposal as it is self-supporting, due to its objective to indicate the obligation to keep a safe distance when overtaking a vehicle that has stopped or broken down.
This sign could be compulsory for motor vehicles that have stopped because of an accident or breakdown, to prevent collisions and grazes or side approaches. This sign will warn other drivers of the need and obligation to keep a safe distance (currently established by the DGT - National Department of Traffic- for overtaking) from the side facing the road of the vehicle that has stopped as a result of an accident or breakdown.
This sign is a complement to the current compulsory triangle that fails to clearly indicate the need to move away from the side of the stationary vehicle that has broken down or had an accident on the road.
