MOVE OVER LAW
At Dixie, safety is one of our highest priorities. While our crews do
everything they can to stay safe, busy roadsides are one of the most dangerous places they can work. If you see utility or emergency vehicles on the side of the road, remember the Move Over Law and: DRIVE CAUTIOUSLY - always look out and ahead for vehicles on the side of the road SAFELY CHANGE LANES - use your signal to move over when it is clear to change lanes SLOW DOWN - decrease speed and remember to stay at a reasonable pace for traffic flow
