Cy-Fair Fire Department Offers Roadside Safety Tips
- Don’t stop in traffic.
- If you're on the interstate or highway, pull over to the shoulder as soon as possible, then drive slowly to exit the highway. If you're in an urban area, pull over into a parking lot or driveway. And if you're in a rural area, pull off the road anywhere it's safe to do so.
- Use proper signaling when getting off the main lanes. Do not aggressively pull your vehicle over as we do not want you to cause an accident.
- Get your vehicle completely away from the roadway before attempting to change a tire.
- Be aware of your surroundings.
- At night, do not forget to turn on your hazards. The Cy-Fair Fire department recommends that you do not attempt to change your tire on a dark roadway.
- If you need to exit your vehicle while on the shoulder, exit from the door away from traffic, if possible. Make yourself highly visible. A safety vest can be purchased at any auto store and can be stored under your seat for emergencies.
- Call your vehicle assistance provider to assist if you cannot get off the roadway.
