Towing in Hackensack, Lodi and the Bergen County seat: the courthouse, the hospital, I-80 and Route 46

Jurors, lawyers and county workers fill the garages and lots around the Bergen County Courthouse on weekdays. A car that dies there needs the garage name, the level and the exit you will wait by.

Main Street and River Street are one-way in stretches, so the driver will pick the side he can load from.

The hospital campus has garages, surface lots and an emergency entrance that must stay clear. A car blocking an entrance goes to the top of the board.

Visitor garages can be low, so a wheel-lift often brings the car down before a flatbed takes it away.

I-80 crosses Lodi, Hackensack and the Teaneck line with short ramps and heavy truck traffic. Route 46 runs east through Little Ferry toward Ridgefield Park, with store entrances and traffic lights the whole way.

Both are direct dispatch. Give the direction and the last exit or store you passed.

Route 17 carries fast traffic past Hasbrouck Heights and Rochelle Park, with jughandles in place of left turns. Many crashes happen at those jughandles and at the store driveways.

If the car moves, pull into a lot. If not, hazards on and stay behind the car's far side, away from traffic.
