Flat Tire on US-1 or the Turnpike? Here's What to Do

Don't Attempt a Roadside Change on a High-Speed Shoulder

Changing a tire yourself on a narrow shoulder next to fast-moving traffic is genuinely dangerous. It's safer to call for professional help than to risk it.

Get as Far Right (or Left, on some ramps) as Possible

Move fully onto the shoulder, away from the travel lanes, and turn on your hazard lights immediately.

Stay Inside the Vehicle If It's Not Safe to Exit

If traffic is heavy or fast, staying buckled inside is usually the safer option until help arrives.
