What Are Road Flares?
Road flares are a piece of safety equipment used to alert people to hazards in the road such as closed lanes, accidents, fallen trees, and other issues. Law enforcement officers, ambulances, and fire trucks typically carry road flares as part of their emergency response kit, and motorists can carry flares as well. Sources for road flares include auto safety catalogs, automotive stores, and catalogs which carry equipment and supplies used by emergency responders.
