Florida’s Move Over Law
Florida’s Move Over law requires drivers to move over one lane for stopped law enforcement, emergency, sanitation and utility-service vehicles, as well as tow trucks and wreckers. In 2024, the law expanded to include occupied private vehicles, as well as unoccupied vehicles with hazard lights on. If safety considerations preclude you from moving over one lane, or if you are on a two-lane road, you are required to slow to a speed that is 20 mph or less under the posted speed limit. If the posted speed limit is 20 mph or less, slow to 5 mph.
