Correct answer to question 88 (Hazardous Materials): Warn approaching traffic and get people away from the vehicle before attempting anything else

Why

Getting people clear and warning oncoming traffic reduces the chance of a second collision or exposure, which matters before anyone gets close enough to inspect the cargo or assumes the vehicle is safe to move.
