If you drive along any of Riverside County's interstate freeways or state highways, you will see the placement of solar-powered Call Boxes throughout your trip. More than 650 miles of roadway are equipped with yellow Call Boxes that can summon assistance should you have a mechanical problem.

All you need to do is to open the door of the Call Box and lift the receiver and press the large red button inside. The Call Box will connect you with a dispatch operator that will summon help to you as quickly as possible. Stay on the line, even if your call is not immediately answered. There is no need to hang up and try again. You will not have long to wait.

High traffic areas of Riverside County have Call Boxes one-half mile apart. In remote areas, spacing can be two miles apart.

Be Safe

Safety comes first. Never cross the freeway to reach a Call Box. Be sure your car is as far as possible to the right on the shoulder. Exit the vehicle on the passenger side. Always look for a Call Box you can reach without crossing an on ramp or an off ramp.
