Must you signal in some way when cargo falls onto the road?

If we create an obstacle or hazard on the road, we must remove it as soon as possible, and in the meantime take the necessary measures to warn other road users and avoid obstructing traffic. In all cases, we must always place the hazard pre-warning device to alert others to the obstacle. The V-16 hazard pre-warning device is an amber-coloured luminous device, type-approved and with geolocation, that operates on autonomous power (battery or rechargeable battery). It must be placed on the highest part of the immobilised vehicle, ensuring maximum visibility. Currently, the V-16 is the only legal option for signalling an immobilised vehicle or an obstacle on the road, with warning triangles now obsolete.
