On July 2, 2008 a new law, commonly known as the “Move-Over Law” was enacted in Rhode Island. Rhode Island General Law Title 31, Chapter 31-14 requires motorists to slow down and, if possible, move over to a travel lane away from the activity when passing emergency vehicles parked on the side of the highway displaying their flashing lights, assisting other motorists or for other emergency situations. Under this law, emergency vehicles include police, fire, tow trucks, transporter trucks, and roadside assistance vehicles. Failure to slow down, and if possible, move over, may result in a fine of $85.
