01About this service

About this service

The Highway Assistance Patrol is a free State service: crews in marked trucks patrol Interstate 404 in Vice City and U.S. Route 1 through the Keys, every day from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.

They change a tire, give you a gallon of gas, jump a battery or push the car off the lane to the shoulder. They do not tow farther than a safe spot, and they do not refuel dirt bikes.

Who it’s for

  • Drivers stranded with a breakdown, a flat tire or an empty tank
  • Drivers stopped on a bridge or a stretch with no shoulder

02How it works

3 steps, start to finish.

  1. Step 1: Get safe

    Pull onto the shoulder and turn on your hazard lights. Stay buckled inside the car, or wait behind the guardrail.

  2. Step 2: Call the patrol

    Call 1-800-555-0172 with the road, your direction and the nearest mile marker.

  3. Step 3: A crew comes to you

    Usually within 30 minutes on the covered stretches. A trooper may stop first.

03What to prepare

  • Where you are: road, direction, mile marker
  • The make, color and plate of the vehicle
  • What is wrong, as far as you know
