A GPS pin may lack context on a divided road or near an interchange. Add your direction of travel and a visible landmark without walking towards traffic. If there is immediate danger, contact emergency services or the road operator before completing a recovery request.
Information to prepare
- Provide the road, direction and last known exit.
- Describe the vehicle’s position relative to traffic lanes.
- Report any collision, injury or leak.
- Keep your phone available after submitting the request.
What to watch for
Do not cross traffic lanes or expose yourself to place equipment or take a photo. On ADM motorways, 5050 directs you to authorised assistance.
