Just a friendly reminder with our warm weather and tourist season slowly creeping up on us, we just want to remind everyone of the “Move Over Law” in our province

In Nova Scotia, drivers are required to slow down to 60 km/h (or the posted speed limit if lower) and move over into another lane if safe, when approaching a stopped emergency vehicle, tow truck, or designated service vehicle with flashing lights. Failure to do so results in fines starting over $350 and 3 demerit points.

When an emergency vehicle (Ambulance, Fire, Police) are approaching you from ahead or behind you, you are also required to move over in both lanes and come to a complete stop.

Let’s keep the roads safe for all of our emergency responders, and our communites
