The Road Flare is a type of equipment in DayZ. When ignited, it lights up the near environment for 20 minutes.
In order to ignite the flare, the player must press the action button (Left click by default). You can unlit it by getting in a car with it. When lit, cannot be put in your inventory or other containers. It will continue to provide light if dropped or thrown.
You can attach it to the trip wire for "alarm" purpose, like with smoke granades.
This item, when lit, can also be used to ignite a Fireplace.
