North Carolina Move-Over Law Expands to Utility Crews
Forty-eight people died in workplace accidents in North Carolina in 2010 – many from being struck by an object – according to the state Department of Labor. It’s a scary thought for utility crews who work alongside moving traffic, but a state law that went into effect Dec. 1 is aimed at helping to protect them. It’s an expansion to the state’s move-over law, which requires motorists to move their vehicle away from the lane closest to a parked emergency vehicle.
