Get Over No Matter What The Color

The Sadsburyville Fire Company provides emergency services to several roadways that are of high speed including the Route 30 Bypass, Route 30 and Route 10. Remember when you approach emergency red, white, blue and yellow flashing lights that means your fire and emergency medical personnel and law enforcement and road workers are actively trying to make a difference in someone's life.

If you come upon an incident along the side of the road that involves an emergency responder, please remember to Steer Clear. Remember under Pennsylvania’s Steer Clear Law, motorists are required to move at least one lane away from the incidents.

Emergency responders can include law enforcement, tow truck operators, Department of Transportation vehicles involved in emergency assistance, and other emergency personnel.

If you cannot move over because of traffic or other conditions, you must reduce your speed. Failure to move over or slow down will not only result in a citation that carries a fine of up to $250, but drivers cited for traffic violations in these situations will face double fines. If that violation leads to a worker being injured, a 90-day license suspension could result. Please Remember to Steer Clear.

We don't want to lose our lives because you weren't paying attention, keep your hands off your cell phone and on your steering wheel.
