Safety reflectors should typically be placed at least 100 feet (about 30 meters) behind your vehicle when pulled over on the highway. This distance allows oncoming traffic enough time to see the reflectors and react accordingly. If you're on a road with lower speed limits, you can place them a bit closer, but always ensure they are visible to drivers in advance. Always follow local laws and guidelines regarding road safety.
Flares or reflectors should be placed at least 200 feet (about 60 meters) in front of and behind a disabled vehicle on the roadway. This distance helps ensure that approaching drivers have adequate time to see the warning devices and react safely. Additionally, they should be positioned in a manner that makes them visible to oncoming traffic, especially at night or in low visibility conditions.
