The Lower Paxton Township Bureau of Police would like to remind drivers there is a Move Over Law in Pennsylvania. The law in all 50 states requires drivers to slow down and move over if there is a stopped emergency vehicle or other roadside assistance vehicle with flashing lights.

On Saturday October 18, 2025, the Lower Paxton Township Bureau of Police conducted a move over detail to coincide with National Move Over Day. During the detail officers made 52 contacts with motorists that resulted in enforcement actions being taken. These details along with future details are part of the Police Traffic Safety Grant. We would ask that drivers please us extreme caution when passing an emergency vehicle, tow truck, or public works vehicle that is positioned on the shoulder of the roadway with its warning lights activated.
