From junction 2 to junction 4a the M3 has no hard shoulder. Use an orange emergency area and its SOS phone if you can reach one. Stuck in a live lane? Call 999 first and get behind the barrier.
Fleet Services
The services sit on both sides of the M3. Broken down in the car park, at the pumps or on the slip road? Stay somewhere safe and tell us which side you’re on.
