If we create an obstacle or danger on the road, we must remove it as soon as possible. Meanwhile, we must take the necessary measures so that other road users can notice it and so that traffic is not obstructed. In all cases we will place the hazard warning device to warn of the obstacle. The V-16 hazard warning device is an approved amber light with geolocation. It runs on its own power supply (batteries). It must be placed on the highest point of the broken-down vehicle, to make it as visible as possible. Today the V-16 is the only legal way to signal a broken-down vehicle or an obstacle on the road, and warning triangles are no longer used.
