Move Over Law

In New York State, effective January 1, 2011 new legislation was passed that would protect law enforcement and emergency workers from motorists.

Motorists would be required to exercise due caution and change lanes when approaching a parked, stopped or standing emergency vehicle with its lights flashing. The "Move Over Law" aims to protect police officers, fire, medical and other emergency workers from the danger of vehicles traveling at high speeds only feet away from them.

When it comes to the community's law enforcement and emergency workers, SAFETY should be our number one priority!
