Letter to the editor: 'Move Over' law will keep workers safe

Tribune-Review | Monday, May 10, 2021 9:00 a.m.

We are finally moving toward keeping first responders and construction workers safe with the new “Move Over” law (”Pennsylvania’s ‘Move Over’ law now in effect for motorists,” April 27, TribLIVE).

Many first responders and construction workers have been killed or injured by vehicles driving too close to where they are working or drivers not following the speed limit in designated zones. This law will give them a safety buffer with some extra room.

The law also will provide a hefty fine to violators. I think it is about time that fines are increased and action is taken to keep first responders and construction workers safe.
