road flare
Roadside warning light
A road flare is a handheld device that burns with a bright red or orange flame, used to signal emergencies or warn approaching traffic of hazards ahead.
Drivers keep them in their cars for breakdowns or accidents: We set out road flares behind the stalled truck.
Also called a fusee or highway flare.
