The Minnesota Department of Public Safety have a reminder ahead of holiday weekend travel for Labor Day weekend. Be mindful of the road construction crews and emergency vehicles on the shoulders of the roads. The Minnesota State Patrol will have more troopers out this weekend. They will be ticketing and educating motorists about the Ted Foss Move Over Law.
Ted Foss Move Over Law:
-
When traveling on a road with two or more lanes, drivers must keep over one full lane away from stopped emergency vehicles with flashing lights activated — ambulance, fire, law enforcement, maintenance and construction vehicles.
- Failing to take these actions endangers personnel who provide critical and life-saving services. Fines can exceed $100.
