🚨 MOVE OVER, ALABAMA! 🚨
🟡 SLOW DOWN. MOVE OVER. SAVE LIVES. 🟡
October is Slow Down, Move Over Awareness Month, and the Alabama Towing and Recovery Association (ATRA) wants to remind every motorist that the people working along our highways deserve to make it home safely!
🚔 👮🏻♂️Law Enforcement
🚒👨🏼🚒 Firefighters & First Responders
🚑 🧑🏻⚕️EMS Personnel
🪝⛓️ Tow Truck Operators
⚡️🚰 Utility Workers
🚧 👷🏼♂️Road Construction & Maintenance Crews
🚚 Sanitation & Recycling Workers
THEY’RE WORKING JUST FEET OR INCHES FROM MOVING TRAFFIC. YOUR ACTIONS COULD SAVE THEIR LIVES!
⚖️ KNOW ALABAMA’S MOVE OVER LAW!
Under the John Hubbard Move Over Act (Alabama Code § 32-5A-58.2):
🛣️ MULTI-LANE HIGHWAYS & INTERSTATES
✅ Move over one lane when safe to do so.
✅ If you cannot safely change lanes, slow down to at least 15 MPH BELOW the posted speed limit.
🛣️ TWO-LANE ROADS
✅ Move as far away from the stopped vehicle as safely possible.
✅ Slow down at least 15 MPH BELOW the posted speed limit, or 10 MPH BELOW when the posted speed limit is 20 MPH or less.
⚠️ A FLASHING LIGHT IS NOT JUST A WARNING — IT’S SOMEONE’S WORKPLACE!
Every day, towing and recovery professionals put themselves in harm’s way to clear crashes, remove disabled vehicles, and keep Alabama’s highways moving.
They are someone’s husband, wife, father, mother, son, daughter, friend, or coworker.
No phone call, text message, or destination is worth someone’s life.
When you see flashing lights ahead:
👉 PAY ATTENTION.
👉 SLOW DOWN.
👉 MOVE OVER.
👉 GIVE THEM ROOM TO WORK.
❤️ HELP US PROTECT THOSE WHO PROTECT AND SERVE OUR MOTORING PUBLIC!
