What Should Drivers Know About Highway Shoulder Safety?
Stopping on a freeway shoulder can still expose drivers and passengers to moving traffic. Vehicles traveling at highway speeds may have little time to react to a stopped car, especially around interchanges and busy ramps. Whenever possible, motorists should move completely out of travel lanes and remain in a safe location while waiting for assistance.
Drivers approaching a vehicle on the shoulder should reduce speed and move away from the stopped vehicle when it is safe to do so. Motorists should watch for people outside their vehicles, tow operators, emergency responders, and other roadside activity. Sudden braking or lane changes can create additional dangers when traffic is moving quickly.
After a crash, drivers should also be aware that damaged vehicles may not be able to move normally. A vehicle with significant damage can create hazards even when it has reached the shoulder. Staying alert, maintaining adequate following distance, and giving roadside activity as much space as possible can help reduce the risk of a secondary collision.
