Construction workers and emergency personnel often find themselves standing on the side of busy roadways and interstates, or, in the case of those doing construction, right in the middle of the road. Because this is dangerous, it is vital that responsible driver heed Move Over Laws.
Move Over Laws are really pretty simple, and easy to follow. When you drive down the road and come across an emergency vehicle, you need to slow down, engage your signal and change lanes. If for some reason you can't change lanes, you need to slow down at least ten miles under the speed limit. When you are driving and encounter construction, follow all posted speed limits and use extreme caution around construction workers. Remember, traffic fines are also usually higher in construction zones.
