🚨 Responders Ahead! Reduce Your Speed as You Proceed.🚨
When you see flashing lights up ahead - slow down and stay alert. First responders are working just feet away from moving traffic to keep everyone safe after crashes, breakdowns, and emergencies.

💡Here’s what to do:
✅ Move over one lane if you can do so safely.
✅If you can’t move over — slow down.
✅Stay alert for traffic cones, emergency lights, and personnel on the roadway.

Every second counts. Every mile per hour matters. Help protect those who protect you - reduce your speed as you proceed.
