Increased enforcement of highway ‘move over’ law starts today

YORK, Maine — Maine State Police are telling motorists to “move over” when they approach vehicles with flashing lights in highway breakdown lanes.

Beginning Friday on the Maine Turnpike in York, police plan to step up enforcement of the so-called “move over” law requiring drivers to move into the passing lane, if possible, or slow down when traveling by police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, tow trucks and other vehicles with flashing lights in the breakdown lane.
