Move Over, Louisiana: It's The Law

Louisiana's 'Move Over' law not only states that motorists shall move to the right for emergency vehicles with activated lights, but it also spells out what motorists must do when they see a first responder on the side of a road with their emergency lights on.
​
Simply put, move into the opposite lane if traffic conditions allow. If that's not possible, or if you're traveling on a two-lane highway, slow down to "a reasonably safe speed," like 20 mph under the posted speed limit.
