What Should Drivers Know About Shoulder Crashes?
Vehicles stopped on a freeway shoulder can create a serious hazard for both occupants and approaching motorists. Drivers should slow down and move over when possible if they encounter a disabled vehicle or emergency responders on the shoulder. Maintaining awareness of traffic around a stopped vehicle is especially important on high-speed roads.
Motorists should avoid stopping on the shoulder unless there is an emergency or the vehicle cannot safely continue. When a breakdown or collision forces a driver to pull over, turning on hazard lights can make the vehicle more visible to approaching traffic. Occupants should move to a safer location away from traffic when doing so is possible.
Drivers passing a crash scene should resist the urge to look away from traffic for an extended period. Keeping both hands on the steering wheel and maintaining a reasonable following distance can provide more time to react if another vehicle suddenly moves into the travel lane. Giving emergency crews adequate space also helps them work safely.
