PSA: It's incumbent upon all motoring public to slow down, move over, and/or stop and yield to all emergency vehicles including police cars, ambulances, fire apparatus, and tow truck operators. Pennsylvania’s Move Over Law requires drivers approaching an emergency response area who are unable to safely merge into a lane farther away from the response area to "pass the emergency response area at a speed of no more than 20 miles per hour less than the posted speed limit and reasonable for safely passing."
