Quick answer
Slow down, pay attention, and move over when legally and safely able when approaching stopped vehicles covered by Minnesota’s law.
What to do
- Look well ahead for flashing lights, workers, cones, and stopped vehicles.
- Change lanes early when traffic and road conditions allow.
- If a lane change is not possible, reduce speed and pass with extra care.
Roadside workers operate only a few feet from moving traffic. Snow, spray, darkness, and distraction make that space more dangerous.
