ABSTRACT:
The deployable hazard sign from a moving vehicle comprises a means for attaching the hazard sign to the rear area of a police vehicle, for example; a means of releasing the hazard sign which also allows easy recovery; a means for powering the hazard sign once released; a means for communicating to the hazard sign the proper warning information before the release thereof; a means attached to the hazard sign to indicate that an approaching vehicle has impacted the hazard sign, and further means of allowing the elevating of the warning lights before or after release. As the police vehicle approaches the breakdown or accident, the deployable hazard sign would be released from the police vehicle, appproximately 200 to 500 feet, behind the breakdown or accident. The policeman inside would determine the proper sign mode before release. The police vehicle would not have to stop to release the sign. After the situation has cleared, the police vehicle could backup to the sign to retrieve it.
