New Jersey Drivers Must Move Over When Passing Stopped Police Cars

The South Brunswick Police Department finished a weeklong awareness campaign for the Move Over Law with a police decoy on Dec. 8. The decoy consisted of a simulated disabled vehicle on the shoulder of Route 522 with a tow truck in front of it and a police vehicle behind it. In accordance with the 2009 law, motorists driving on the road were required to move over one lane or, if it was not safe to move over, slow down below the posted speed limit.
