Quote From The CDL Manual:
Use your horn only when needed - Your horn can let others know you are there and help to avoid a crash. Use your horn when needed; however, it can startle others and could be dangerous when used unnecessarily.
- Obstructions should have no bearing on where warning devices are placed
- A warning device should be placed beyond the obstruction if it is 100 to 500 feet from your vehicle
- Warning devices should be placed closer to your vehicle if an obstruction is present

Quote From The CDL Manual:
A warning device should be placed back beyond any hill, curve or other obstruction that prevents other drivers from seeing the vehicle within 500 feet.
