National Move Over Day Is Not Just a Day of the Year, But the Law

MARYLAND – The Maryland State Police have recently shared images highlighting the perils that first responders confront while attending to incidents on roadways.

Coinciding with National #MoveOver Day, the state police underscore the importance of road safety for these front-line workers.

The campaign encourages motorists to shift lanes, creating a safety buffer for emergency personnel. If changing lanes isn’t feasible, the police emphasize the importance of reducing speed.

The initiative’s message is to ensure that every first responder can conclude their duty unharmed and return home safely.

Motorists are reminded that adhering to the #MoveOver protocol isn’t just a gesture of respect—it’s mandated by law.
