"Rules of the Road"
Move It On Over- Under the "Move Over" law, motorists are required to move over one lane, if possible, or reduce speed when passing an emergency vehicle with it's lights flashing on the shoulder of the highway. The "Fender Bender" law requires motorists to move their vehicles to the shoulder of the road following minor non-injury crashes.
Headlights- Motorists are required to use their headlights from sunset to sunrise and when light conditions restrict visibility to 400 feet or less. Motorists are also required to use headlights while operating windshield wipers during inclement weather.
Safety Belts and Child Restraints- Safety belt use is mandatory for drivers and front seat passengers. In addition, children up to age 16, whether in the front seat or the back seat, must wear a safety belt or be properly secured in an age- and weight-appropiate child passenger restraint device. Children up to age 8 and weighing less than 80 pounds must be secured in a safety seat while riding in a vehicle. Older children must transition to booster seats before graduating to an adult safety belt.
Right Turn on Red- Permitted after a complete stop, unless otherwise posted. Left turns on red are not permitted.
Parking on Highways- Prohibited
Traffic Crashes- Traffic crashes involving death, personal injury or property damage of $1,000 or more must be reported to the nearest law enforcement officer or agency.
Helmets- Helmets are required by law when riding on a motorcycle or moped. Children up to age 16 are required to wear a helmet while riding a bicycle.
