🚨 Slow Down. Move Over. Save Lives.

In the wake of the tragic line-of-duty death of Pennsylvania State Trooper Michael Pahira, the Whitehall Borough Police Department reminds all motorists to do their part to protect those who work on our roadways.

Pennsylvania’s Move Over Law requires drivers to:

🔹 Move over to a non-adjacent lane when approaching an emergency or disabled vehicle with flashing lights, when safe to do so.

🔹 If you cannot safely change lanes, pass at a speed of no more than 20 miles per hour less than the posted speed limit and reasonable for safely passing.

This law protects:
🚓 Law enforcement officers
🚒 Firefighters and EMS personnel
🚧 PennDOT and public works employees
⚡ Utility crews
🚛 Tow truck operators
🚑 Anyone working along the roadside with flashing warning lights

Every traffic stop, crash scene, disabled vehicle, and work zone places someone just feet from passing traffic. A moment of caution behind the wheel can prevent a tragedy.

Please slow down, move over, and help everyone get home safely.
