CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – The Tennessee Department of Transportation has partnered with the Tennessee Highway Patrol for Operation Guardians of the Roadway, to ramp up enforcement of Tennessee’s Move Over Law (T.C.A. 55-8-132). The law was passed in 2006 and requires drivers to move over into an adjacent lane of traffic, when safe to do so, or to slow down when approaching emergency vehicles on the side of the road. In 2023, there have been 33 HELP trucks hit while responding to incidents and 5 of those crashes have occurred in the past month.
