Indianapolis Road Laws
INDIANAPOLIS ROAD LAWS
If you are visiting from overseas its good to note that in the United States, most states have a driving law that requires drivers to move one lane over from an emergency vehicle on the side of the road. For example, if you are on a multi-lane road, two or more lanes in each direction, and there is a police car with it’s lights on on the side of the road; the driver is supposed to move out of the lane nearest the location of the stopped police car. If you cannot move over due to traffic or you are on a single lane road, one lane each direction, you must slow down.
Some states specify the speed at which you must slow down. This is to prevent police officers from being hit while writing traffic violations or tending to an emergency. The law specifies emergency vehicles as police, fire, ambulance, or tow trucks. Most people don’t realize that tow trucks are included.
