In the state of Maryland, the law requires drivers to change lanes when approaching any stopped, standing, or parked vehicle displaying warning signals, which include hazard warning lights, road flares, or other caution signals. If it is not safe or feasible to move over, motorists must slow down to a reasonable and prudent speed. The law was changed on October 1, 2022, to make it a requirement for motorists to change lanes or slow down when approaching any stopped, standing, or parked vehicle displaying warning signs. Violation of the Move Over law in Maryland is a misdemeanor carrying a $110 fine and one point on the person’s license. However, if a death or serious injury results, the fine is $750 and three points. Maryland became the 8th state in the country to expand the move-over law to include any vehicle on the side of the road with its hazard lights on or having road flares put out. The move-over law is intended to keep motorists safe and to make motorists more aware of vehicles stopped on highway shoulders.
