Nebraska's Updated Move-Over Law (LB 530)
Previously, the move-over law applied only to emergency and roadside assistance vehicles on controlled-access highways.
Now, on these highways, drivers must move over when approaching all stopped vehicles on the same side of the highway. If it is not possible to move into the next lane, drivers must slow down to a safe speed and proceed with caution, or as directed by authorized personnel. These requirements do not apply if the stopped vehicle is unoccupied and there are no individuals present in or near the vehicle.
In addition, the updated law requires drivers to move over when approaching or passing vulnerable road users (VRUs) on all highways. VRUs include:
-Pedestrians
- Construction and maintenance crews
- Bicyclists
- People in crosswalks
- Agricultural vehicles or equipment
- Other types identified in Section 25 of LB 530
*If there are not two adjacent lanes going in the same direction or if drivers are unable to move over, they must slow down and drive with caution.
