The Colorado State Patrol wants as few pedestrians on highways as possible. If drivers experience a vehicle breakdown and are unable to exit the highway, the agency recommends that they pull as far off the road as they can, switch on the hazard lights and call for help. Those who must exit their car should do so on the non-traffic side and try to get over the guardrail, if one is present, then move to the safest location possible.
Colorado State Patrol Sergeant Troy Kessler acknowledges that"crossing a highway on foot or walking alongside a road that is not designed for pedestrians is extremely dangerous. Seeing a person walking on a road not designed for pedestrians would be unexpected for a driver. If you find yourself in the unfortunate circumstance as a pedestrian on a highway, exercise extreme caution, keep alert and distraction-free to avoid a worst possible case scenario.
