This resolution expresses support for the goals and ideals of a National Move Over Law Day. It also urges national, state, and regional incident management organizations to spread awareness and promote the existence of, and adherence to, state move over laws.

Move over laws generally require motorists to move at least one lane over when an emergency or rescue activity is taking place, including on the shoulder or side of the roadway, or, if the motorist is unable to do so safely, to slow down and pass the scene with caution.
