In New York state, remember to "move over"

It's summer and that means a lot more motorists, including RVers on the road in the Empire State.

As you drive down the highways, keep in mind that New York enacted a new law in 2011 called the "Move Over Law." If you see police, fire, EMS, tow services or maintenance crews working on roadways with multiple lanes, you must move out of the lane adjacent to them and slow down (typically move left into the passing lane) unless there is a hazard or traffic preventing you from moving over. On all roads and highways, drivers must reduce speed for emergency vehicles.
