Are you obliged in this situation to signal parking of the damaged agricultural tractor?

Correct answer: YES

🔍 Analysis of the situation: You are approaching an agricultural tractor that has broken down on the road outside a built-up area. This vehicle acts as an obstacle and, due to its specific design and low speed, it might be difficult for other drivers to see clearly.

📖 Explanation of the rule: Any vehicle immobilized on the roadway outside a built-up area must be signaled according to traffic regulations. This requires the use of hazard lights and a warning triangle placed at the appropriate distance. This measure is designed to alert other road users of the obstruction and prevent collisions, which is critical in non-built-up areas where higher speeds are permitted.

💡 Tip: Remember that outside a built-up area, the warning triangle must be placed 30–50 meters behind the vehicle. Within a built-up area, this distance is 1 meter or placed directly behind the vehicle if it is on a part of the road where stopping is prohibited.
