What Should Drivers Do Around Stalled Vehicles on Freeways?
Stalled vehicles can create sudden hazards for drivers traveling at freeway speeds. Motorists approaching stopped or disabled vehicles should reduce speed and watch carefully for changes in traffic flow.
Drivers should maintain enough following distance to allow time for unexpected lane changes or sudden stops. Checking mirrors before moving into another lane can also help prevent conflicts with nearby traffic.
Large trucks and other vehicles stopped in travel lanes can be difficult to avoid when traffic is moving quickly. Staying alert and adjusting speed to roadway conditions can give drivers more time to react.
When possible, move disabled vehicles to a safe position away from active travel lanes.
