SLOW DOWN, MOVE OVER. It’s the law!

As the beautiful summer weather sets in and the weekend traffic increases, we will also see more emergencies on New Hampshire’s highways.

We would like to remind everyone traveling on the interstates and other highways that NH Law requires motorists to slow down and move over, leaving an extra lane of space for stopped emergency vehicles.

These photos, taken at an incident on I-95 this morning, demonstrate what this should and shouldn’t look like.

Please help us make sure everyone gets to go home safely from their travels this summer.

Today we pause to reflect and remember the sacrifices made by the members of our military and their families that have kept our great country free. We thank our fallen heroes for their service and sacrifice.
