Move Over For Emergency Personnel

(St. Paul, MN) — Minnesota drivers are being reminded to move over or slow down when approaching emergency responders on the roadside. MnDOT’s Brian Kary says changing weather conditions, especially snow and ice, make extra caution even more important. He says drivers should move over one lane when possible or slow down and approach carefully. State law requires motorists to move over for emergency vehicles with flashing lights or, when that’s not possible, reduce their speed. The goal is to give responders room to work and help everyone get home safely.

Minnesota officials urge drivers to slow down, move over near crash scenes

ST. PAUL — Minnesota Toward Zero Deaths and first responders used Crash Responder Safety Week, observed Nov. 2-6, to remind drivers to slow down and move over when it is safe to do so near traffic incidents. According to the Emergency Responder Safety Institute, 360 crash responders in the United States have been killed or injured since 2019 while assisting at incident scenes. They include law enforcement officers, emergency medical services and fire personnel, tow truck operators and highway workers. Gov. Tim Walz proclaimed the week, which marked its 11th anniversary. This year’s theme was “Slow Down, Move Over. Lives are on the Line!” Minnesota Toward Zero Deaths said drivers who reduce their speed when passing responders working roadside greatly reduce the risk of death in a secondary crash. Minnesota’s Move Over Law requires drivers approaching stopped emergency or maintenance vehicles to move over one lane when it is safe, or slow down when moving over is not safe. While all 50 states have move over laws, the program said one-third of the public is not aware of the law. Officials stress that an incident scene where first responders are working is a work zone. “When you see flashing responder

Highway 610 renamed in honor of Melissa and Mark Hortman

Members of the Hortman family joined state lawmakers and Gov. Tim Walz for the unveiling of new signage designating Highway 610 as Hortman Memorial Highway — in honor of House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. The highway runs through the district Hortman served, which encompasses parts of Brooklyn Park, Coon Rapids and Champlin. The Hortmans’ children, Colin and Sophie, were among the family members who were at the Nov. 5 dedication in Brooklyn Park. “I hope that every time someone drives down Highway 610 and sees Melissa and Mark’s names, they’ll remember the lives they lived, the people they loved, and all they gave to Minnesota,” Walz wrote in a statement. At the ceremony, Walz noted Speaker Emerita Hortman played a "pivotal role" in securing funding for Highway 610. The new name was made official during the most recent legislative session, when Minnesota lawmakers tasked the transportation commissioner with adopting “a suitable design” to display on signage along the thoroughfare. Sen. John Hoffman sponsored the legislation to rename the highway, along with Rep. Erin Koegel. Hoffman spoke at the Nov. 5 dedication, where he highlighted Hortman's various contributions to the communities the highway passes through. "On the
