KSP reminds motorists to move over for emergency vehicles
Kentucky State Police Post Four is joining a multi-state effort to remind residents to move over and slow down for emergency vehicles.
KSP Post Four is participating in the 6-State Trooper Project, a coordinated effort involving state police agencies in Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia running now through July 26 to promote compliance with move over laws and help reduce roadside crashes involving law enforcement officers, emergency responders, and service workers.
According to a release from the KSP, Kentucky’s Move Over Law passed in 2003 requires motorists to move to the adjacent lane when approaching an emergency or public safety vehicle with flashing lights. Motorists must slow down and use caution if they are unable to change lanes.
The KSP is urging all drivers and passengers to help keep everyone on Kentucky roadways safe and to stay alert, slow down, move over, and obey the law. Failure to follow the Move Over Law may result in fines, jail time, or both.
Drivers may report dangerous driving behavior to their local KSP post. Visit the KSP’s website for more information on the 6-State Trooper Project.
