What may you need to do with calls on the highway?

• A. Block traffic
• B. Block traffic, and cooperate/coordinate with law enforcement
• C. Ignore the calls on the highway
• D. Respond only after all units arrive

Answer: (B)

When dealing with highway incidents, safety hinges on controlling traffic and working with law enforcement. You may need to block or restrict lanes to create a safe work area for responders and to prevent secondary crashes. Coordinating with law enforcement ensures proper traffic management—lane closures, detours, and safe escorts—so additional units can arrive and operate without added risk. Ignoring the call or delaying response risks lives, and trying to block traffic without law enforcement coordination can cause confusion and hazards. The best approach is to block traffic as needed and collaborate with law enforcement to manage the scene effectively.
