• ColoradoInfo

  Colorado requires you to move over at least one lane for any vehicle stopped on the roadside with lights flashing — emergency responders, tow trucks, maintenance vehicles and ordinary passenger vehicles with their hazards on (the law was expanded in 2023). If you cannot move over safely you must slow down: to 25 mph or less in a 40 mph zone, and by at least 20 mph in a 45 mph or higher zone. Failing to move over or slow down is a class 2 misdemeanor traffic offense — a $150 fine and a 3-point license violation.

On a road with one lane each way, slow below the limit and keep a safe speed until completely past.
