US Patent 10442076 Roadside safety mat

A roadside repair safety mat includes a mat body that is, preferably, a flexible closed foam core with an integral top and bottom cover made of a sturdy waterproof material. The mat body includes a semi-circular, cut-out to fit around a flat tire on a vehicle and has receivers that fit poles for lighting a work area around the tire and caution poles nearer the road to flash a warning, which allows the user to kneel comfortably on the padded mat and to work in a secure environment while changing a tire at night. The mat includes pouches to carry necessary tools and is flexible so that it may roll up with the light poles and fit in a vehicle trunk.
