Safety-focused guidance for a breakdown on two of Calgary’s busiest high-speed routes.
If the vehicle can be moved safely, getting as far away from active travel lanes as practical can reduce exposure to traffic. If it cannot be moved, prioritize occupant safety and emergency guidance.
Give the direction of travel, nearest exit or interchange, and any visible landmark. A precise location helps the tow operator approach from the correct direction.
High-speed roads leave little room for error. Avoid working beside active lanes when conditions are unsafe. Call emergency services when there is immediate danger or a collision requiring their response.
