Safety Tips & Information

BE ALERT
SLOW DOWN / MOVE OVER

Starting July 1, 2000, a new law in the State of Kansas protects police officers and other emergency workers stopped alongside our highways.  

The new law requires motorists to approach cautiously when an emergency vehicle is stopped ahead with its lights flashing.  Motorists must change lanes away from the emergency vehicle if they are on a multilane highway and can do so SAFELY.  If drivers can't change lanes safely, or they are on a two-lane highway, they must slow down while maintaining a safe speed so as not to impede other traffic.

A violation can result in fines in excess of $100.
