Walsh said the idea is simple- people just need to move over. "These are the people speaking out right here. These are the people who are in the trenches all of the time," Walsh said. "Their families are waiting for a phone call to go to work, but don't want to get the phone call that they are not coming home." The group is not sure when their next event will be, but they told us they are going to keep working to save lives on Wisconsin roadways--
