Delaware — The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) is reminding motorists of the state’s Move Over Law, which requires drivers to slow down or change lanes when approaching stationary vehicles displaying warning signals. The law applies not only to emergency and authorized utility vehicles but also to any stationary vehicle showing hazard lights, road flares, or traffic cones.
Drivers who cannot safely move over are instructed to reduce their speed and proceed with caution to ensure safety for those on the roadside. DelDOT emphasizes that following the law protects first responders, work crews, and other motorists. “Be a fine driver, not a fine collector. Move over. It’s the law,” the department said in its social media post.
