Under the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), the V-16 hazard warning device must be placed on the highest possible part of the immobilised vehicle so that it is as visible as possible. Its purpose is to warn other drivers of the danger and reduce the risk of accidents. Placing it away from the vehicle would not give the visibility needed to warn other drivers at a suitable distance, which could lead to dangerous situations.
