A highway breakdown can involve moving traffic, limited visibility and little room around the vehicle. The immediate priority is understanding whether there is a collision, fire, injury or another danger that requires emergency responders. A routine towing request does not replace an emergency response.
The appropriate waiting place depends on the scene. A general article cannot tell every driver to remain inside or leave a vehicle in all circumstances. Follow instructions from responders and describe the actual road position and hazards when requesting help.
For a transport request, useful details include the road name, direction of travel, nearby exit or landmark, vehicle description and whether it is blocking traffic. Explain any damaged wheels, steering or other condition that could affect loading. Confirm the destination and proposed service before dispatch.
