MD roadside guide
Roadside assistance in
Maryland.
Maryland roadside dispatch should start with the exact interstate, parkway, bridge or local road because short distances can cross multiple jurisdictions.
- I-95
- I-70
- US 50
Use emergency services for injuries, fire, a hazardous obstruction or a vehicle exposed to moving traffic. A roadside provider is not an emergency responder.
Before requesting help
Describe the exact Maryland location
Name the bridge, tunnel or toll facility when relevant and identify the mainline, ramp or service area. Add the nearest exit, county and direction rather than relying on a city name alone.
- 01Road and direction
Name the highway or street, direction of travel and the nearest exit, mile marker or cross street.
- 02Safe access
Say whether the vehicle is on a shoulder, ramp, median, parking area or unpaved approach and describe traffic exposure.
- 03Vehicle and problem
Give the year, make, model, approximate weight and symptoms, plus trailer, wheel or towing restrictions.
