CALL (530) 490-5352 Request Help →I-505 and Highway 16 Towing
Madison is a small agricultural community in western Yolo County, at the junction of Highway 16 and Interstate 505. Highway 16 runs east toward Woodland and west toward Esparto and the Capay Valley, while I-505 links I-80 near Vacaville with I-5 at Dunnigan. That makes the Madison interchange a crossroads for farm trucks, commercial traffic and drivers cutting between the two interstates.
Between the towns, it is mostly open farmland with long stretches between services. The I-505 and Highway 16 interchange is the landmark most callers use, and it is a good one: say whether you are on I-505 or Highway 16, which direction you were heading, and how far you are from the interchange. On I-505, the last exit you passed is the fastest way to be found.

Madison Towing FAQs
I broke down on I-505 near Madison. How do I describe where I am?
Your direction of travel (northbound toward Dunnigan or southbound toward Vacaville), the last exit you passed, and your distance from the Highway 16 interchange. A dropped pin from your phone works even better.
Can I get towed from Madison to Woodland?
Yes. Woodland is the most common destination. The hookup rate covers the first few miles and the rest is per mile, so you will know the total before dispatch.
Is there anywhere safe to wait near the interchange?
If you can drive a short way, get off the freeway and into a lot or wide shoulder near the interchange. If not, stay buckled in with the hazards on until the truck arrives.
