First Responder Safety

Move Over

Keeping first responders safe is key to every highway safety communication plan. 

All 50 states have "Move Over" laws. Educating drivers to move over when there are flashing lights on the roadside will help save lives. 

We've created communication material that can be used to help educate drivers about moving over, and you can add specific information about your state law. 

Many assets are available in English and Spanish. Share this information with partner organizations to help spread the message across all communities.
