Info: Move over at least one lane for ANY vehicle stopped on the roadside with lights flashing — emergency responders, tow trucks, maintenance vehicles AND ordinary passenger vehicles with hazards on (law expanded in 2023).

Move over at least one lane for ANY vehicle stopped on the roadside with lights flashing — emergency responders, tow trucks, maintenance vehicles AND ordinary passenger vehicles with hazards on (law expanded in 2023). If you cannot move over safely you must slow down: to 25 mph or less in a 40 mph zone, and by at least 20 mph in a 45 mph or higher zone. Failing to move over or slow down is a class 2 misdemeanor traffic offense — $150 fine and a 3-point license violation.
