Roadside Help on Highway 6 & Highway 7 in Lafayette County
Breaking down on the shoulder of a highway is a different kind of stressful than a parking lot. Here's how to stay safe while you wait, and what to tell us when you call so we can find you fast.
If you break down on the shoulder
- Turn your hazard lights on immediately
- Signal and move as far onto the shoulder as you safely can
- Stay buckled in your seat if you're close to moving traffic, rather than standing outside
- Call us with your direction of travel, the nearest exit or mile marker, and any landmark you can see

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I don't know my exact mile marker?
That's fine — tell us your direction of travel, the last exit or town you passed, and any landmark you can see (a business sign, a bridge, a mile marker if you spot one). We can work with that.
Is it safer to stay in my car or get out?
If you're stopped close to moving traffic, staying buckled in your seat is generally safer than standing outside the car. If you can safely exit away from the traffic side, do that instead. Always keep your hazard lights on.
