Regulation 33

No person shall drive or cause to be driven on a road a heavy motor vehicle unless there is carried on that vehicle a portable warning sign of a type approved by the Deputy Commissioner of Police.

Where a heavy motor vehicle is broken down or disabled and is standing on a road, the driver or person in charge of the vehicle shall forthwith place or cause to be placed on the road at a distance of not less than 20 metres from the rear of the vehicle the portable warning sign referred to in paragraph (1) so as to give a warning of danger visible to drivers of other vehicles on that road.

Once a type of portable warning sign is approved by the Deputy Commissioner of Police for the purposes of paragraph (1), he must, as soon as practicable, cause to be published in the Gazette a notification specifying each type of portable warning sign so approved by him.

However, failure to comply with paragraph (2A) in respect of any type of portable warning sign does not invalidate the approval for that type of portable warning sign.

In this rule, “heavy motor vehicle” means a motor vehicle whose unladen weight exceeds 2,500 kg.
