<p>Rules relating to road users displaying hazard signs (e.g. warning triangles) in
the event of a breakdown are set out in Rule 276 of The Highway Code. Rule 76 advises
motorists not to place a warning sign on the carriage if they breakdown on a motorway.
This is because priority is for the safety of the vehicle occupants, and, as a matter
of urgency, they should move to a safe place away from fast moving traffic.</p><p>
</p><p>In line with The Highway Code, National Highways provides guidance to drivers
on what to do in the event that their vehicle breaks down on any kind of high-speed
road. This was the subject of a major campaign and there is further breakdown advice
on their website.</p>
