New York's Move Over Law emphasizes driver safety near stopped emergency vehicles after recent accidents.

In New York, the Move Over Law, enacted in 2010, requires drivers to either change lanes or reduce speed when approaching stopped emergency or hazard vehicles, with penalties up to $150 for violations.

Authorities urge motorists to prioritize safety in work zones.
