If, due to a breakdown, a motorcycle becomes immobilized on the carriageway of a road with one lane in each direction, how should it be signalled?
Vehicle immobilizations
Explanation
When a **motorcycle is immobilized** on the road due to a breakdown, it is important to **properly signal** to warn other drivers and prevent accidents.
- **Emergency signal**: If the motorcycle is equipped with an emergency signal, it must be used. The emergency signal is a **yellow light** placed at the highest point of the vehicle to be visible from afar. This signal indicates that the vehicle is stopped on the road due to an emergency or breakdown.
- **Warning triangles**: Although triangles are an additional option to signal a stopped vehicle, they are not mandatory for motorcycles. The triangles are placed 50 meters from the vehicle, one in front and one behind, but in the case of motorcycles, the emergency signal is sufficient if available.
Therefore, the **emergency signal** is the correct way to signal an immobilized motorcycle, as long as it is installed.
