(WFRV) - The Wisconsin Department of Transportation announced its November Law of the Month, the "Move Over Law," which reminds drivers to brake for roadside workers and much more. According to the release, drivers are required to follow specific rules regarding safety when it comes to law enforcement, emergency responders and other maintenance vehicles stopped on the roads. Multiple arrests made by Wisconsin Sheriff’s Office in high-intensity patrol operation "The Move Over Law is one of the best protections our law enforcement officers, emergency responders and road maintenance workers have to keep them safe on the job," Wisconsin State Patrol Superintendent Tim Carnahan said. "Stepping out onto the side of the road is one of the most dangerous parts of our job, and we have seen our own officers injured and killed in these preventable crashes." The release added that in the past five years, there have been 60 emergency responders struck by vehicles and injured while working on Wisconsin roads. In 2023, 32 were struck and killed by vehicles while working on the side of roads across the country. In a Facebook post, the Wisconsin State Patrol added that it's critical to not be distracted while driving, and especially in emergency response areas. "No handheld phone use within 500 feet of an emergency response area," the post said. WisDOT completes State Highway 91 infrastructure improvements in Omro Attentive driving is critical to preventing secondary crashes as well. They happen when other drivers aren't paying attention to the scene, leading to another crash. There were 760 secondary crashes in 2023 across Wisconsin, which killed three people and caused 385 injuries. Crash Responder Safety Week begins on Nov. 18 and runs through Nov. 22. The goal is to call attention to the risks that first responders take while on duty, and encourage drivers nationwide to be attentive and aware of their surroundings, especially in an emergency response area.
