At van den Heuvel & Fountain, we value our safe
(and violation-free!) drivers – so we’ve compiled a helpful list of three other
overlooked traffic laws of which you should be aware:
1. Idling Stinks
There are
some specific situations in which a vehicle may idle for an extended times,
such as when it is stuck in traffic, or at a drive-thru window. See www.stopthesoot.org
for a complete listing of exemptions.
2. Move over
New Jersey’s “Move Over” law requires that all motorists approaching a stationary, authorized emergency vehicle, tow truck, highway maintenance or other emergency service vehicle that is displaying a flashing, blinking or alternating red, blue, amber or tallow light, or any configuration of lights containing one of these colors, must change lanes, safety and traffic conditions permitting, into a lane not adjacent to the authorized vehicle. If a lane change is impossible, prohibited by law or unsafe, the motorist must reduce speed of his vehicle to reasonable and proper speed, slower than the posted limit, and be prepared to stop if necessary. Motorists who violate this law face a fine of not less than $100.
3. Safe Corridors

traffic rules and regulations.
