Triangle placement

If you must stop on a road or the shoulder of any road, you must put out your emergency warning devices within 10 minutes.

✅ If you must stop on or by a one-way or divided highway, place warning devices 10 feet, 100 feet, and 200 feet toward the approaching traffic.

✅ If you stop on a 2-lane road carrying traffic in both directions or on an undivided highway, place warning devices within 10 feet of the front or rear corners to mark the location of the vehicle and 100 feet behind and ahead of the vehicle, on the shoulder or in the lane you stopped in.

✅ Back beyond any hill, curve, or other obstruction that prevents other drivers from seeing the vehicle within 500 feet. If line of sight view is obstructed due to hill or curve, move the rearmost triangle to a point back down the road so warning is provided.

When putting out the triangles, hold them between yourself and the oncoming traffic for your own safety. (So other drivers can see you.)
