Who do I call to report a dangerous object on the highway? 911?

Rjmail

Yes 911

peganyee101

well call dot then you decide really bad emergency or dot can handle but 911 will take as an emergency.

probably the best number to use is *55 on your cell phone. this puts you in contact with the highway patrol in most states.

cleotis

Yes.

retemaeshortman

yes call them and report any thing suspicious these are trying times

If it is an immediate danger to the public call 911 and then I would follow up with a call to the DOT. If it is not an immediate threat but more of a nuisance than I would put a call into the Department of Transportation. Good for you for even being concerned!

usually there is a number that starts with the * symbol you find posted on signs all along the highway, that transfers you to your local nhp office, they are best for handling dangerous highway situations.

Dial 911 and asked to be transferred to a non-emergency line.

How many miles did you have to go to get home, sit down and actually ask this question?

Dip. Thanks to you're stupidity I'll be sure to inform the 14 people who were involved in the multiple car accident on the freeway that they should come to see you for compensation.

God!...we're doomed I tell you...doomed!

CHP is the best bet

Well, I hope you aren't using Yahoo! Answers from the highway. lol. If there is a dengerous object, call Police-Non Emergency from the area you are in. If this number is not available, yes, call 911 if it is a risk to well being, or life. Since you are on the road, you would be using a cell phone, and cell phone towers don't call based upon where the phone is, but will ring a 911 dispatcher from your home. If you are on a road trip, and want to report it, I commend you, but please hold off. I am sure that you are not the only one who will be calling. Leave it to a local.

Yes, 911.
By any chance, you're not driving right now are you?

fiji2litre

dot and local police do not call 911 they will think it is an emergency and respond as such.

The name is Apple!

Highway patrol if possible, 911 is acceptable because this object could cause a collision with vehicles at high speeds.

baldyhugsblues

i think you call the highways comission department

Vulcan 1

911
But if its really that dangerous you if at all possible should stop and remove it

Raynanne

No, you dont call 911.

911 is the number to dial for the fastest possible emergency response when you need emergency POLICE, FIRE or MEDICAL ASSISTANCE in a life or death situation.

Is the thing on the road an IMMEDIATE life or death situation?

Call the local law enforcement office that has juridiction over the area. If you are unsure, call your state's local Highway Patrol.

Ingrid

yes, dial 911 and they will call DOT pronto

DaveP24

You would probably want to call the State police. Or some state's have a highway crew that you will see out and about sometimes, you could get either of their number's from the operator.

adman

all areas have a non-emergency police contact. unless someone is hurt or in immediate danger of being hurt, i wouldn't call 911

jojo1967

Yes! I'd call 911 and let they take care of it

Carol M

yes. Just let them know exactly where the object is.
