37. Téléphone d’urgence
Un téléphone d’urgence est un téléphone dédié situé au bord de la route ou dans un tunnel, reliant directement les usagers à un centre d’urgence, de gestion du trafic ou d’assistance routière. Ces téléphones sont couramment installés dans les tunnels, le long des autoroutes ou à d’autres endroits où il est important de signaler rapidement un accident, une panne ou un incendie. Ils peuvent fournir aux opérateurs des informations utiles sur la position de l’appelant et rester disponibles là où la couverture mobile est faible.
