    Slow Down and Move Over Alerts have been around since 2015.

    They are available to all Towing/Roadside Assist/Mobile Mechanic organizations, Fire Departments, Police Departments, EMS departments, State DOTs, Construction, Workzone, Utility companies, and more.

    The alerts are sent out on Waze on people's phones, as well as through their cars using Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Ford Sync 3. Additionally, drivers can automatically receive these alerts in 2018 and newer models of Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, and Ram vehicles (as native as a seatbelt alert). The alerts also show up on many of the 511 services that State agencies subscribe to (as Waze powers all of that and Waze is owned by Google).

    YOU have had the ability to alert drivers with Slow Down Move Over alerts for nearly 7 years. Over 1 BILLION driver alerts have processed, and 10s of millions more are processed every month.

    To learn how you can keep yourselves safer, and reduce the risk of collision or struck-by by up to 90%.. you need to reach out to HAAS Alert. www.haasalert.com

    This is already being done and has been done since 2015, by the leader in Slow Down and Move Alerts for Towing and Roadside companies- HAAS Alert

    Towers and Roadside companies can easily have this ability- just reach out to HAAS Alert.

    Considering there is a move over law in every state this is a MUST in the USA!

    I always wondered why radar detectors didn't have some system with ambulance, police and fire vehicles broadcasting some special radar signal that would alert motorist ahead of them when they had their lights and/or sirens engaged. Could help warn people to move over and look out for emergency vehicles.

    Add an emergency vehicle icon , Such as the Hazard, Police, Crash Icons. Have the voice tell people to evacuate the lane and to slow down. Allow Emergency Responders and also Tow Trucks the ability to add to it map quickly. Help us get home safely, one step at a time. Could be your family we are assisting. I'll be glad to have you ride along if you need some reference materials!

    it should be a law across the country

    Similar idea: Have the ability to specify is there is a person in the area. For example, add a separate construction option with the ability to report either an active construction zone (people working), an inactive construction zone (Nighttime, no workers present) and to specify lane closures due to construction (Right lane, Middle lane, left lane closed).

    In addition, allow the user to specify if a vehicle or cop on the side of the road is sitting abandoned (no one around)/enforcing the speed limit (Not pulling anyone over) or if a car is newly broken down (people around)/a cop writing a ticket (lights on, out of vehicle).
