🚨 SLOW DOWN. MOVE OVER. SAVE A LIFE. 🚨
This isn’t just a suggestion; it’s the law, and more importantly, it’s about protecting lives.
Every day, tow truck operators, first responders, and highway crews put themselves in dangerous situations to help others. When you see flashing lights on the side of the road, here’s what you need to do:
👉 Slow down immediately
👉 Move over to the next lane if it’s safe
👉 If you can’t move over, slow down significantly and proceed with caution
As a towing company, we see firsthand how dangerous roadside work can be. One distracted or speeding driver can change everything in a split second. The people out there aren’t just workers—they’re parents, friends, and family members trying to make it home safely at the end of the day.
💛 Give us space.
💛 Stay alert.
💛 Respect the scene.
Fines and penalties are real—but the real cost could be someone’s life.
Let’s all do our part to keep the roads safer.
On Montana roads, every driver shares the responsibility of keeping people safe, especially those working on the side of the highway or responding to emergencies.
The Move Over Law is designed to protect law enforcement, firefighters, EMS crews, tow operators, utility workers, and road maintenance personnel who are often just feet away from live traffic while doing their jobs.
When you see flashing lights or a roadside work scene, Montana law requires you to:
✔ Move over if it’s safe to do so
✔ Slow down significantly when you cannot move over
✔ Stay alert and prepared for changing road conditions
This isn’t just about avoiding a ticket, it’s about preventing a tragedy. These workers are someone’s family, and they deserve to make it home safely at the end of their shift.

Take a moment to understand it, share it with others, and most importantly, practice it every time you’re on the road.
One decision behind the wheel can change everything.
