Watch Out For Us

This requires motorists to move to a lane that is not immediately adjacent to an emergency response area.  Such areas include, for example, locations where police are making traffic stops, construction crews are working on highways, or tow trucks are responding to disabled vehicles.  If drivers cannot move over because of traffic or other conditions, they must proceed at a speed that is "reasonable and prudent."   The law applies any time an emergency vehicle has its lights flashing and where road crews or emergency personnel have lighted flares, posted signs or other traffic control devices.  Failure to move over or slow down can result in a summary offense that carries a fine of up to $250.  In addition, fines will be doubled for traffic violations occurring in these areas.  If that violation leads to a worker being injured, a 90-day license suspension could result.   In cases where law enforcement may not be present, the law allows road workers and emergency responders to report violations by motorists. Law enforcement can issue citations based on these reports
