What is a safer alternative to using flares for visibility?

Reflective triangles are an effective and safer alternative to flares for visibility. They provide a stable and luminous warning signal to other drivers without the fire hazard associated with flares. Reflective triangles can be seen from a distance, especially at night or in low-visibility conditions, because they reflect headlights from oncoming vehicles. Their design allows for easy setup on the side of the road, effectively alerting approaching traffic to a potential hazard or roadside emergency.

In contrast, while bright colored flags, cones, and safety vests may enhance visibility in certain scenarios, they do not offer the same level of clear warning that reflective triangles do, especially at a distance or in darkness. Reflective triangles are purpose-built for roadside safety and visibility, making them the superior choice in emergency situations.
