Dennis…
Here in The Dallas area we have that in the metro areas
to keep the flow of traffic going.
I think in most municipalities the idea is more
to keep traffic flowing and have a few trained folks
to lend a hand. It can be deadly dangerous here for a civilian
to try to get out and render roadside aid. Commuters are nuts down here
and you feel like chum bait on the side of the road…ive been there!
Heres a bit on the ending of the service in your area..though it appears
VDOT is picking up the slack.

I don’t claim to remember all the details, but I think this was one of those save money for the state, drop it on the locality moves so that legislators could crow about not raising taxes.
