Texas Department of Public Safety troopers will conduct a focused enforcement campaign from April 6 through April 13, 2026, targeting drivers who fail to comply with the state's Move Over or Slow Down law, according to FOX 7 Austin. More than 5,007 Move Over violations have been recorded in Texas in the first months of 2026. Violations carry a fine of up to $1,250 for a first offense. Motorists must vacate the nearest lane or reduce speed at least 20 mph below the posted limit when approaching a stopped vehicle with flashing lights. Violations that result in bodily injury can be charged as a state jail felony.
Operator takeaway
Post the fine schedule in your yard before Monday — and remind every driver on your crew that this week, troopers are watching the shoulder specifically.
