What does the Kansas Move Over Law require?

• A. Stay in your lane and speed up.
• B. Move over to a different lane if safe and slow down when you see emergency or roadside workers with flashing lights.
• C. Honk to warn workers.
• D. Stop and wait for instructions.

Answer: (B)

Protecting roadside workers and crews is what this law emphasizes. When you see emergency or roadside workers with flashing lights, you’re expected to give them space by moving over to a different lane if it’s safe, and to slow down as you pass. This reduces the risk of collisions and provides a safer work area for the people on the shoulder or in the median. If changing lanes isn’t safe due to traffic or road conditions, you should still slow to a safe speed. This combination—changing lanes when possible and slowing down otherwise—best meets the intent of the Move Over Law.
