A hazard alert system includes a vehicle that has a door, a bed and a hitch. The bed has a back wall and a lateral wall. A frame is attached to the vehicle and the frame has a first section and a second section. A panel is movably coupled to the frame and the panel is positioned between a deployed position and a stored position. The panel provides a barrier between oncoming traffic and the door on the vehicle when the panel is positioned in the deployed position such that a driver of the vehicle may safely exit the vehicle. An actuator is coupled to the frame and the actuator urges the panel between the stored position and the deployed position.
