Florida Road Conditions And Closures

Florida law says drivers must slow down or move over for stopped emergency vehicles and work zones. The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles says that drivers breaking that law have caused more than 200 crashes every year. Florida's 'Move Over' law requires drivers to slow down 20 miles per hour below the posted speed limit or move over a lane for emergency and utility vehicles. The crew members just want to get the job done safe and sound. Regulatory speed signs in rural areas (interstate and non-interstate) are to be preceded by a “Reduced Speed Ahead” sign positioned as follows: Interstate (Rural) – 1000 ft. in advance; Non-Interstate (Rural) – 500 ft. in advance. Urban areas ordinarily do not require an advance sign, however, the sign may be included at the designer’s option.
