You've seen them. Signs that warn you to move over for vehicles, like this one on I-70 in St Louis. Each state has a slightly different variation on the wording. As the link shows, Missouri's example says "State Law: Move over or slow down for stopped emergency or maintenance vehicles." Illinois is similar, saying "Notice: Move over - slow down for stopped emergency or maintenance vehicles, it's the law." Some states are a bit unique, such as Tennessee, saying the standard "State Law: Move over for stopped emergency vehicles" and noting a "$500 maximum fine" at the bottom. South Dakota uses the less wordy approach, with "State Law: Move over for stopped vehicles flashing yellow lights."

What are some examples in your state and others?

Here is New York's version, which has popped up at all the Thruway service areas in the last few years.

"You know, you never have a guaranteed spot until you have a spot guaranteed."
—Olaf Kolzig, as quoted in the Washington Times on March 28, 2003,
commenting on the Capitals clinching a playoff spot.

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"
—Kolzig, to the same reporter a few seconds later.

This is typical in Virginia.



That's a lot of font size changes. Here's another example on 95 south of Emporia.

The text is "State Law: Move over or reduce speed for stopped emergency or service vehicles with flashing lights."
Bonus: North Carolina's is "State Law: Move over or reduce speed for stopped emergency vehicles"

New Hampshire's simply mentions "stopped emergency vehicles".

Maine
uses a regulatory sign with a red banner similar to this style and their sign says to simply "move over for stopped emergency vehicles".
