When on the side of the highway at night you should have your set of
triangles deployed -- they're much more effective than flares, and
don't burn out in fifteen minutes.  One a few feet from the vehicle
on the road side, the other two laid out in a diagonal stretching
back a hundred feet or so.  NAPA has an excellent set for ~US$28 or
so.  Comes in a crummy box unfortunately, keep the shipping box if
it's available.
