Call live Kansas City dispatch at 816-588-8888 for current availability.
U.S. 50 reaches the Kansas City area through shared interstate segments and then becomes a principal east-west route through Lee's Summit and eastern Jackson County. A caller may see I-470 and U.S. 50 together, be near a Route 291 junction, or be farther east on a divided highway. Start with immediate safety, then report the route shields, direction, nearest signed exit, roadway position, and vehicle condition.
Use 911 for injury, fire, smoke, a hazardous spill, an unstable crash, a vehicle blocking traffic, or another immediate impact risk. Do not cross U.S. 50, stand in a gore point, or walk along a bridge or high-speed shoulder.
Give eastbound or westbound and say whether signs show U.S. 50 alone, I-470/U.S. 50, or another shared movement. Add the last and next exits. Route combinations prevent dispatch from choosing the wrong mainline or connector.
Useful location anchors include View High Drive, 3rd Street, Chipman Road, the north and south Route 291 junctions, Todd George Road, and points east toward Lone Jack. State whether you are before the exit, on a ramp, past the merge, or on an outer road.
Report right or left shoulder, barrier, bridge, lane exposure, work-zone shift, closed or narrowed ramp, police or contractor traffic control, and whether the vehicle can reach a public lot. Current Route 291 interchange work can change practical access in Lee's Summit.
Use MoDOT's Traveler Information Map and KC Scout for current incidents, cameras, delays, and restrictions. MoDOT's project and roadwork pages add context, but temporary closure details should never be treated as permanent instructions.
Give year, make, model, keys, drivetrain, wheel and tire condition, steering, brakes, damage, leaks, cargo, passengers, requested help, and destination. Call 816-588-8888 so live dispatch can confirm authority, safe access, equipment, availability, estimate, and assignment.
Eastbound or westbound, U.S. 50 alone or I-470/U.S. 50, nearest exit, complete interchange movement, mainline or ramp, outer road, shoulder side, and a safe static pin.
Lane exposure, shoulder width, barrier, bridge, work zone, ramp closure, debris, smoke, fluid, darkness, weather, police or contractor instruction, and safe waiting position.
Year, make, model, keys, drivetrain, power, wheels, tires, steering, brakes, damage, leaks, cargo, passengers, and whether the vehicle starts, rolls, or shifts.
Requested service, receiving facility and hours, owner or insurer authority, callback number, estimate questions, changed access instructions, and expressly confirmed assignment status.
Report both route numbers, direction, nearest exit, before or after the split, mainline or connector, shoulder side, and a safe pin. Do not choose one route number and omit the other.
Say north or south Route 291 junction if known, eastbound or westbound U.S. 50, before or after the interchange, mainline or ramp, shoulder side, work-zone barriers, and nearest open access.

If anyone is injured, in immediate danger, facing a fire or hazardous spill, or blocking an active traffic lane, call 911 first. Move only when you can do so without entering traffic or increasing the danger.
