The Northborough Fire Department would like to remind people of the “Move Over Law” in the state of Massachusetts. It’s goal is to help keep emergency responders, tow truck drivers and all roadside maintenance professionals safer on the job. The law, which took effect in March 2009, “requires drivers approaching a stationary emergency or maintenance vehicle with flashing lights to move to the next adjacent lane and slow down, if it is safe to do so. Failure to comply could result in a fine of up to $100.”
Your help in keeping everyone safe is appreciated.
