For the MA/NH/CT folks (that travel in MA)
Effective Sunday 3/22/09, the law, known as "Slow Down, Move Over," goes into effect as part of an effort to better protect emergency responders and roadside workers.
The new law requires drivers approaching an accident scene to leave the lane closest to the accident and slow down to a reasonable speed.
If you're motoring down a state highway and see the flashing lights of an emergency vehicle, tow truck or road maintenance crew working on the shoulder up ahead, be advised: slow down and/or change lanes — or face a fine of up to $100.
