Road Crew
This guide aims to show you the basic principles of becoming and performing duties as a Road Crew worker.
Becoming a Road Crew worker
To become a Road Crew worker, you will need to locate the RC Garage. You can get there by walking behind City Hall, past the homeless shelter and you will see the impound lot on your right. Alternatively you can follow the road next to PD past the Motel, and take a left turn by the Slums Apartments. There are multiple signs around City Hall and PD that will guide you towards the Roadcrew Garage if you get lost. The station has a large fenced-in impound lot and a garage at the front. Once there, speak to the NPC by the counter take the beginners exam - ensure you read through the required rules and this guide to ensure that you are successful.
The Basics
As a Road Crew worker, your job is to provide vehicle towing and repair services to both civilians and the police department using the provided equipment and vehicle. These services could include impounding vehicles at the request of police, performing impromptu repairs on cars, or towing a destroyed car safely off of the road.
Road Crew workers can communicate with each other using their radios and the /roadcrew or /rc chat.
To impound a vehicle, simply drive it into the fenced area outside the RC garage with the vehicle you are towing, unhook the vehicle and speak to the NPC by the counter in the garage to impound the vehicle. Make sure the vehicle you want to impound has a wheel clamp attached or else you won't be able to impound it.
As a government employee, a Road Crew worker must do their job properly while obeying the law in accordance with the Server Rules.

| 4.1 Follow the Law | Government employees must at all times follow the entirety of the law. |
| 4.3 Road Crew Workers | Road Crew Workers must not enter crime scenes unless permitted to do so by Police. Permission from Police or a Road Management Officer must be gained to clamp or impound a vehicle, unless it is abandoned and obstructing traffic. A fee of up to $500 may be charged for each act of either repairing, un-clamping, or towing of a vehicle. Police must be informed if a vehicle that was damaged due to a crime is repaired. |
