Slow down & move over warning for Emergeny Responders

Warn motorists of Emergency Responders (police cars, tow trucks, ambulances) with a Slow Down Move Over warning. Lives are being lost at alarming rates and any support of the move over laws are greatly appreciated.

    This is a great idea !
    A nice loud warning a km before and then in increments telling them to slow down and move over.....

    Please add Tow Trucks. Too many deaths. These folks are in danger too!

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Tow Truck Alerts would be pretty awesome!

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please include all responders from Tow Trucks to Fire working on the shoulder. Too many drivers are more worried about their phone than focusing on driving!

    Great idea! It is truly scary for our first responders with all the distracted drivers out there. And it could be us just with a broken down vehicle or flat tire.

    This would be a great improvement to the hazard and police warnings already there. Also this is very feasible from a programming standpoint too everything you need is already built in.

    As a Roadside Breakdown and Recovery Operative myself, i have seen my fair share of near misses and horrific collisions, every day I wonder if I will make it home to see my family again. In nearly 15 years of service, it still breaks my heart every time I hear the dreaded word “FATAL”. I wonder if it’s a friend, family member or even another recovery operator!! We need to stand up and battle for other ways to make drivers fully comply with some kind of legal regulation to slow down!! We sacrifice our Lives to help others, and they can’t even sacrifice their time and speed to help everyone!!!

    This is a situation that needs addressing with some urgency

    Would help a great deal

    Create a way for emergency workers to be able to say that they are on scene, and it then activates a special alert. Something not easily ignored, liked the emergency broadcast alert. And since google maps is incorporating Waze make it continue through navigation on google maps.
