Move Over Day 2024

Law enforcement officers, emergency responders, and other roadside workers put their lives on the line every day to keep us safe - on National Move Over Day, DelDOT reminds drivers of the importance of slowing down and moving over when you see them along the side of a road.
All 50 states have "Move Over" laws to protect law enforcement officers and other first responders stopped on roadways, yet one-third of Americans are not aware of these laws. Violation of the Move Over law results in fines and in some cases jail time.
When a vehicle with flashing lights is stopped on or next to a roadway, drivers approaching the vehicle should:
change into a lane not immediately adjacent to the vehicle, or
slow down to a reasonable speed if you’re unable to safely make a lane change.
Remember, next time you see flashing lights on the side of the road or roadside workers, Move Over. It’s the Law.
