emergencies
What must a driver do when approaching a stopped emergency vehicle with flashing lights on a Maryland roadway?
- Move over one lane if safe, or slow down if moving over is not safe
- Maintain speed because the emergency vehicle is off the roadway
- Stop in the adjacent lane regardless of traffic
- Pass on the shoulder without reducing speed
Answer: Move over one lane if safe, or slow down if moving over is not safe. Maryland's Move Over rule protects people working beside traffic. If a lane change can be made safely, leave an open lane between your vehicle and the stopped emergency vehicle. If traffic or road design prevents that move, slow down to a safe speed instead. Maintaining speed ignores the roadside risk, while an unconditional stop in a live lane can cause a new collision. Look well ahead for flashing lights, check the next lane early, and make the protective adjustment before reaching the vehicle.
