The Texas Department of Transportation intensifies its campaign to enforce the ‘Move Over or Slow Down’ law, aiming to reduce roadside accidents and protect workers and emergency responders.
Texas Drivers Alert: Move Over Law Enforcement Intensifies
In response to a worrying increase in roadside accidents, the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDot) is ramping up efforts this April and May to enforce the state’s ‘Move Over or Slow Down’ law. This initiative is crucial for the safety of roadside workers and emergency responders across the state.
The Importance of the Move Over Law
The Move Over Law mandates that drivers must shift over one lane when passing by any vehicle with flashing lights that is stopped on the side of the road. If moving over isn’t possible due to traffic conditions, drivers are required to slow down by at least 20 miles below the speed limit. This simple act can significantly decrease the risk of accidents involving stationary emergency vehicles and personnel.
