That's assuming someone stops. A while ago I was driving down a road like you describe in the rural pnw and stopped for a person attempting to flag down traffic. They'd gotten their vehicle locked behind a DNR gate and their phone was dead. They were ridiculously grateful because they'd been trying to flag someone down for over an hour and had been ignored by dozens of vehicles, and they didn't even look sketchy or anything. Goes back to the societal assumption that everyone has a working phone: "if there's cell service, why don't they just call someone?"
