Maryland Police Enforce 'Move-Over' Law

Maryland State Police efforts to educate motorists and enforce Maryland’s move over law continued in June with a focused initiative that resulted in thousands of traffic stops.

During June, troopers statewide issued 1,165 citations and 2,594 warnings for violations of Maryland’s move over law. Troopers used each traffic stop as an opportunity to clearly inform drivers of the move over law requirements. Some drivers continue to say they are unaware of the law, which took effect in Maryland on Oct. 1, 2010.
