Car trouble on a highway outside Indianola
Outside town, get the car as far onto the shoulder as it will go and turn the hazards on. Stay in your seat with the belt fastened while you wait. Walking along the highway in the dark is riskier than sitting tight. Call 911 for a crash, an injury or a car blocking the road.
Indianola snow emergency parking ban
Indianola's snow emergency parking ban starts when the National Weather Service forecasts and confirms 2 inches or more of snow or ice for the area. It lasts through the storm and for 48 hours after it ends. City Ordinance 69.10 bars parking on any public street or alley during the ban; the February 11, 2025 ban, for example, started at 10 p.m. Breaking the rule can mean a $35 parking ticket, a tow at your expense, or both.
Parts of the downtown square are exempt from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.: Howard and Buxton streets from Boston Avenue to First Avenue, and Ashland and Salem avenues from First Street to B Street. From 10 p.m. to 7 a.m., those blocks fall under the ban like every other street.
National Balloon Classic traffic in Indianola
The National Balloon Classic is held at Memorial Balloon Field, east of Indianola on Highway 92. Its 2027 dates are July 30 to August 7. Road closures during the event change the routes. Organizers send drivers from the north or south via Highway 65 to Highway 92 east, and drivers from the east or west along Highway 92.
At the 2026 Classic, competition flights were set for 6:30 a.m. and evening flights for 6:30 p.m. Morning gates opened from 6 to 9 a.m. and evening gates at 4 p.m., so expect traffic to the field around those hours. A car that will not start in a festival lot afterward needs a jump start, from $85.
Tow truck prices in Indianola
A tow in Indianola starts from $124, whether the car sits by the square or out on US 69. Lockouts start at $85 and spare-tire changes at $98. Pulling a car out of a ditch off Iowa 92 or US 65 starts at $129. Indianola is 19 miles from downtown Des Moines, so a tow up to a metro shop is quoted as a longer haul.
Call (515) 585-8351 and lead with the junction: the highway, the last junction or crossroad you passed and your direction. In town, the street and the nearest corner of the square will do. We tell you the price and timing for a tow, a jump or a tire change before anyone is sent.
