“This law means move to the left lane if there are emergency vehicles, work crews, etc on the right shoulder. “
While it’s important to leave an open lane for law enforcement working on the shoulder when possible, in my experience this law is being used a fund-raising device all over the country. You’ll see one cop car pulled over with lights flashing, then half a mile up the road another one which pulls over and tickets any driver who isn’t able to change lanes for the first one. In upstate NY it’s a $350 fine plus points on your license.
Here in Texas if one can not move over they are supposed to slow down. There have been a number of incidents, especially in San Antonio, where officers have been hit and sometimes killed by passing vehicles.
Also here in Houston, fire trucks are used to block lanes to protect firemen and paramedics performing auto extrications at crash scenes.
Yes, Im biased on this one. I have a number of first responder friends.
