This bill requires emergency personnel to place three flares or reflective triangles on the roadway when their vehicle stops to respond to an emergency—specifically when visibility is poor, road conditions are hazardous, or the emergency will take an extended time to address. The law strengthens protections for stopped emergency vehicles by making these warning markers mandatory in certain circumstances rather than optional, helping prevent accidents involving other drivers who might not see the stopped emergency vehicle.
