The Department for Transport has relaxed rules around using red warning triangles because previously, red warning triangles were only to be used in emergencies
A new traffic regulation will commence this week permitting the use of "red lantern" warning lights as safety signals for drivers. The Department for Transport has eased the restrictions on red warning triangles, which previously were permitted only during emergencies.
He also mentioned, "There have been too many tragic collisions where lives have been lost involving stationary recovery vehicles at the sides of high-speed roads where more prominent red lights might have made a difference." The statement read: "Journey of Red Lamps for the Recovery Industry has been a long one but for PROSE to be asked to become part of it for the past nine months has been an honour. It has seen several challenges along the way including a general election which has delayed things somewhat."
