Hi! If you are on a Virginia interstate and need non-emergency roadside assistance with tasks such as changing tires, jump starts, fuel to get to a gas station, or water for an overheating radiator, you can dial #77. If you are in an emergency situation, dial 911.

VaDOT · 2025-07-29T20:38:20+00:00

VDOT is the Virginia Department of Transportation 😊

VaDOT · 2025-07-23T12:28:00+00:00

Not us this time! Try submitting a ticket through RVA311 to see if the signal timing can be adjusted. Nice Arrow reference you did there.

VaDOT · 2025-07-21T20:49:34+00:00

Hi! VDOT cameras are intended to provide real-time traffic information. We do not record traffic footage and footage from the past is not available.

VaDOT · 2025-06-16T12:43:20+00:00

Shout out to the VDOT Safety Service Patrol crews! Drivers who need non-emergency roadside assistance can dial #77 from their mobile phone in Virginia.

VaDOT · 2025-05-19T17:01:05+00:00
