Watertown, NY, November 4, 2026 —

Law enforcement officials in New York have conducted an enforcement campaign targeting violations of the state’s Move Over law. During this initiative, a total of 105 tickets were issued to drivers who failed to comply with the statute.

The Move Over law requires drivers to slow down and move over one lane when passing vehicles displaying red, blue, or amber lights, such as emergency vehicles, tow trucks, and other roadside assistance providers. The purpose of this law is to protect the safety of first responders, law enforcement officers, and towing and recovery operators working on the side of the road.

The specific dates and duration of this recent enforcement campaign were not provided. Additionally, the names of the specific police departments or agencies that participated in the campaign were not disclosed. Details regarding the specific locations within New York where these tickets were issued have also not been made public.

The violation of the Move Over law typically carries penalties that can include fines and points on a driver’s license. The exact fine amounts for the 105 tickets issued in this campaign were not specified in the information provided. Similarly, the specific types of violations that led to the tickets beyond a general breach of the Move Over law have not been detailed.

This enforcement effort underscores the ongoing attention placed on traffic safety for individuals working in potentially hazardous roadside conditions. The number of tickets issued indicates a significant number of drivers may still be unaware of or disregarding the requirements of the Move Over law. Further details on the campaign’s objectives and outcomes beyond the ticket count were not immediately available.
