Abstract
A reflector assembly for use on the road by a vehicle driver near his or her stopped vehicle comprising three reflective arms crossing and pivoted to each other at the middle, and bases pivotally connected to two of the arms at one end of each. When the assembly is erected, the crossing arms are spread apart angularly and the bases hold their respective arms extending up diagonally. Wing nuts at the pivots releasably clamp the arms and bases in this position. After loosening the wing nuts, the user can collapse the reflector assembly to a folded position in which the arms are aligned one behind the other.
