How to quickly determine the location of an accident on the highway. The traffic police explains in detail the use of 100-meter piles.

According to CCTV Finance reports, various places are now welcoming return passengers. What should the driver do if an accident or vehicle breakdown occurs while driving on the highway? The traffic police said that after a vehicle accident, some drivers choose to stay on the main line of the highway because they are worried that the moving vehicle will affect the later determination of liability. This approach is wrong.

In the event of a road traffic accident, be sure to remember the Nine Zi Jue.When the car pulls over and people evacuate, call the police and try to move the vehicle to a roadside that does not obstruct traffic.Turn on the hazard warning flashers, and all people in the car must evacuate to a safe area on the roadside, then reverse the direction of the car and place a triangle warning sign in a proper position behind the car.

It should be reminded that in the event of an accident or vehicle breakdown on the highway, the warning triangle should be placed 150 meters away from the direction of the oncoming vehicle. If it is at night or in bad weather such as rain, snow, fog, etc., the distance should be increased to 200 meters.

How can drivers quickly confirm their location and call the traffic police?

This requires paying attention to the 100-meter piles on the highway guardrail. There is a 100-meter pile every 100 meters on the highway to indicate the location.The number below it represents the number of kilometers, and the number above it represents the number of hundred meters.

For example,Our current location is 1,766 kilometers and 500 meters away from the Shenhai Expressway in the Fujian direction.When calling the police, you can accurately indicate your location based on the 100-meter pile, and the traffic police can quickly locate it.

The traffic control department reminds that if an accident or vehicle failure occurs on a national or provincial trunk road or in a rural area, you can describe the approximate location of the incident by looking for nearby villages, gas stations and other landmarks.
