During such time as lights on motor vehicles are not required, red flags not less
than twelve (12) inches both in length and width shall be used in the place of flares,
torches, reflectors or lanterns. The flags shall be placed upon the roadway in the
manner prescribed in Sections 82-5-23 and 82-5-24 for flares, torches, reflectors and lanterns, except that no flag shall be required
to be placed at the side of such vehicle, but if the disablement of such vehicle continues
into the period when lights on motor vehicles are required, flares, torches, reflectors
or lanterns shall be placed as required by Sections 82-5-23 and 82-5-24. Red reflectorized triangular warning devices of a type approved by the Superintendent
may be used in lieu of flags. (3-13-63; 1961 Code, § 16-129.)
