Broke Down on I-95 or I-16 Near Savannah? Do This
Interstate breakdowns are the most dangerous kind. Here's how to stay safe and get moved fast.
Call (912) 800-6242Five steps on the interstate
- Get off the travel lane. Coast to the right shoulder, or take the next exit if the car will make it.
- Hazards on, belt on. Standing beside a car on an interstate shoulder is one of the most dangerous places to be. If you must get out, exit on the side away from traffic and stand well behind the guardrail.
- Find your location. Note the direction (northbound / southbound, eastbound / westbound), the last exit you passed, and the green mile marker on the shoulder.
- Call 911 if you're in a lane or anyone is hurt. For non-emergency help from the Georgia State Patrol, dial *GSP (*477).
- Call for a tow and give the dispatcher your direction, exit or mile marker, and the vehicle.
Georgia's Move Over law requires drivers to change lanes or slow down for stopped emergency and tow vehicles — but don't count on everyone doing it.
