They really do work. I never "got it" how come the US DOT made those illegal in this country. What is wrong with those meddling stupid government politicians bureaucrats and lawyers.
I am surprised that they haven't declared those warning triangles on the Amish buggies illegal too.

I never quite understood why those were removed. They definitely provide warning to upcoming drivers if you are disabled -- in fact many truckers carry these, and truck supply stores carry them. On another note, buggies are also required to have bright LED flashers which help tremendously at night.
