If a collision occurs on a main lane, ramp, shoulder, median, or adjacent area of a freeway in a metropolitan area and each vehicle involved can be normally and safely driven, what must each operator do with the vehicle?

• A. Remain in the travel lane and wait for responders.
• B. Move the operator's vehicle as soon as possible to a designated collision investigation site, a frontage road, the nearest suitable cross street, or another suitable location.
• C. Drive to the nearest service station for assessment.
• D. Stop and leave the vehicle in its current position.

Answer: (B)

When a collision occurs on a freeway and each vehicle involved can be safely driven, the priority is to keep traffic moving and make the scene accessible to responders by relocating the vehicles to a safe, designated spot as soon as possible. Moving to a designated collision investigation site, a frontage road, the nearest suitable cross street, or another safe location reduces the risk of secondary crashes, clears the travel lanes for ongoing traffic, and gives investigators or responders quick access to the scene. After moving, exchange information and follow any reporting requirements; do not stay in the travel lane or leave the scene as-is, and avoid detouring to a service station for assessment.
