LITTLE ROCK, AR — (BrooklandNews.com) — May 14, 2025 — Multiple state law enforcement agencies are conducting a law enforcement operation.
The operation is being conducted by the Arkansas State Police (ASP), the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), the Louisiana State Police, the New Mexico State Police, and the Oklahoma Highway Patrol. This initiative will take place from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Wednesday, May 14. During this operation, Troopers will focus on drivers who violate their respective states’ Move Over and Slow Down laws.
“The Move Over Law is designed to protect emergency responders, road workers, and anyone working on or near the road,” said Col. Mike Hagar, ASP Director. “Let’s work together to ensure the safety of all road users. By being considerate and taking proactive measures, we are not only following the law but also demonstrating respect and care for our community. Together, we can keep our roads safe for everyone.”
Arkansas law states that drivers are to move over for emergency vehicles, vehicles operated by the Arkansas Department of Transportation, utility vehicles, tow trucks, and other authorized vehicles displaying flashing, revolving or rotating lights in blue, red, amber, white, or green.
Those who violate the law in Arkansas are subject to a $250-$1000 fine.
