Have you ever wondered what you are supposed to do when you notice emergency crews working on the side of the roadway? Some drivers will speed on past as though the roadside workers were not even there while other drivers politely slow down and change lanes. But are there any laws that govern this situation?
Actually, there are. They are called "Move Over" laws and they are enforced in all 50 states. Those drivers who politely slow down and move over to give workers along the roadside more room are not only being courteous, but they are also obeying the law.
The National Traffic Incident Management Coalition says 200 American workers are killed while doing their jobs along the roadways every single year. Premier Kia in Branford, CT wants to make sure you remember to move over for roadside workers. Changing lanes is more than just the mannerly thing to do; it can potentially save lives.
