Arkansas Move Over Law Laws (2026)

Info: Move to the farthest lane or position away from any authorized vehicle stopped or parked on a street, road, highway or shoulder, and stay there until you have safely passed.

Move to the farthest lane or position away from any authorized vehicle stopped or parked on a street, road, highway or shoulder, and stay there until you have safely passed. It covers not just emergency vehicles but Arkansas Department of Transportation vehicles, utility vehicles, tow trucks and other authorized vehicles displaying flashing, revolving or rotating BLUE, RED, AMBER, WHITE or GREEN lights. If changing lanes is unsafe or impossible, reduce speed to suit conditions. Violators face fines of $250 to $1,000, possible jail time, and potential loss of driving privileges.
