It's the Law: Move Over or Slow Down

Lineworkers dedicate long hours to ensuring affordable and reliable electric power. The “move over/slow down” law reminds us to do our part to keep our utility workers safe

Look for flashing lights

When you see a utility vehicle on the side of the road with its amber lights flashing, move over a lane. When you move over, you’re giving workers the room they need to safely complete their work.

Slower is safer

If you do not have an extra lane to move into, the law requires you to slow down 20 mph below the posted speed limit. A slower-moving vehicle is a safer vehicle. And keep in mind, significant fines give this law teeth.

Your electric cooperative encourages you to always practice safety.
