What Should Drivers Do When Approaching a Crash on the Shoulder?
Crashes that occur on the shoulder of a roadway can still pose significant risks to passing drivers and emergency responders. Even when vehicles are off the main lanes, debris, stopped vehicles, or people outside their cars can create hazards.
Drivers should slow down and, when possible, move over to provide space for those on the shoulder. Many states have “Move Over” laws that require motorists to change lanes or reduce speed when approaching emergency vehicles.
Staying alert and avoiding distractions is especially important in these situations. Taking these precautions helps protect both those involved in the crash and the responders who are assisting them.
