    logo_azdpsPhoenix AZ (February 21, 2014) – The Highway Patrol Division at the Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) wants to remind motorists about the “Move Over Law”.

    The law states that motorists must move over when approaching ANY vehicle with its emergency lights on. If a motorist is unable to safely move over due to traffic, the motorist must then slow down before passing ALL vehicles displaying emergency lights.

    DPS Officers have been working extra hours in a campaign to enforce Arizona’s “Move Over” law and other laws designed to reduce accidents caused by motorists not moving over.

    “This is an effort to educate the motoring public about the ‘Move Over’ law and other important laws that promote traffic safety. Our effort centers on both an enforcement aspect and an education component,” said DPS Capt. Pete Borquez.

    Nationally, one tow truck driver is killed every six days on the side of the road. Also, twenty-three highway workers and one police officer are killed every month along the side of the road.

    DPS will continue to aggressively enforce the “Mover Over” law and other traffic safety laws in order to save lives along Arizona highways.

    DPS reminds everyone to drive with due regard for fellow motorists while carefully observing all traffic laws.

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
