Move Over-Slow Down! Maryland's Move Over law, which took effect on October 1, 2010, requires drivers to move over to an adjacent lane, if possible, whenever approaching an emergency vehicle from the rear that is on the side of the road displaying its warning lights. If it is not possible to move over safely due to traffic congestion, then drivers must slow down below the posted speed limit and be prepared to stop if necessary.
