MOVE OVER LAW In Ontario, motorists are required to move over to ensure that emergency vehicles, and emergency services workers, can do their jobs safely.

26 MOVE OVER LAW In Ontario, motorists are required to move over to ensure that emergency vehicles, and emergency services workers, can do their jobs safely. The move over law requires motorists, upon noticing an incoming emergency vehicle (ambulance, police or fire), coming from any direction with sirens or flashing lights operating, to move to the farthest right lane, or the shoulder of the road and stop, until the vehicle has passed by. Section 159 (2,3) of the Highway Traffic Act also requires, if there are multiple lanes in your direction of travel, that drivers slow down and vacate the lane adjacent the emergency vehicle, if it can be done safely. This provides a buffer lane to stopped service vehicles with active strobing or rotating lights - including tow trucks with their flashing amber lights activated. If you can t move over safely (i.e. you would cut-off the left lane driver), you must slow down while passing the stopped emergency vehicle. In Ontario, you must slow to below the posted speed limit as necessary to avoid endangering roadside personnel. Failing to respond to an emergency vehicle Penalties and fines regarding reacting to an approaching or stopped emergency vehicle include: First Offence: $400 to $2,000, plus three demerit points upon conviction. Two lane road: Multi-lane road: More information about road safety and emergency vehicles can be found on the Ministry of Transportation Ontario website. HELP SAVE LIVES. MOVE OVER.
