When emergency crews are working on the shoulder, every passing driver affects their safety.
Texas law requires drivers to slow down and move over for:
• Fire trucks
• Ambulances
• Police
• Tow trucks
• TxDOT vehicles
• Utility crews with flashing lights
If you cannot safely move over, reduce your speed by 20 mph below the posted limit.
A small shift in your lane gives first responders the space they need to do their jobs and go home safely.
