Roadside guides for Wisconsin

Wisconsin's move-over law, in brief

Under Wis. Stat. 346.072, when a roadside service vehicle, such as a tow truck flashing red lamps, or a disabled vehicle is stopped on or within 12 feet of the road, approaching drivers must leave the nearest lane if there are at least two lanes their way and it's safe. If not, they must slow down and stay slow until they're past.

Your car counts as disabled if it has hazards, flares or other warning devices out, or people visibly with it. Drivers who break the rule also face a license suspension. Check 511WI for road conditions.

Wisconsin's Interstates and Its Snowbelt

I-94 is Wisconsin's longest Interstate, with about 348 miles across the southeast, the middle of the state and the west. I-43 runs from Beloit through Milwaukee and up the Lake Michigan shore to Green Bay. I-41, added to the Interstate system in 2015, runs from the Chicago area to Green Bay, and I-39 heads north toward Wausau, ending about six miles south of the city.

Snow is the big variable. The southern part of the state averages around 40 inches a year, while the Lake Superior snowbelt can get up to 160. The state's record low, 55 degrees below zero, was set at Couderay in 1996. A night like that can leave a car needing a jump start. A snowy back road can leave one needing a winch-out or a tow.

Wisconsin questions

Up North, Waiting Safely, and Long Tows

I'm up north near Lake Superior. Can you get someone to me?

It depends on where you are and which partners cover it. Call with the highway and the nearest town. If nobody can reach you yet, you'll hear that from us on the call, not after a long wait.

What if a stranger stops while I'm waiting?

Text us anytime while you wait. If someone you don't know stops and you feel uneasy, tell us. Once a partner takes the job, you get the driver's name, photo and truck by text, so you'll know which truck is yours.
