SRES 476 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A resolution supporting the goals and ideals of a National Move Over Law Day.

SRES 476 is a symbolic Senate resolution supporting the establishment of a National Move Over Law Day. It does not create new laws but urges national, state, and regional organizations to raise public awareness about existing state move-over laws, which require drivers to change lanes or slow down near roadside emergency responders. The resolution highlights that 50 traffic responders were killed in 2022 due to collisions while managing incidents, and cites the need for greater public education on these laws to improve safety. It specifically references the Federal Highway Administration’s Crash Responder Safety Week as part of ongoing efforts to reduce roadside collisions.
