obby Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 Police to conduct traffic operation on causeway tonightThe Miami and Miami Beach police departments will be conducting ''Operation Move Over'' today from 6 p.m. to midnight on the MacArthur Causeway.The traffic operation is being done because the number of avoidable traffic crashes that injure emergency responders continues to grow, Miami police spokeswoman Herminia Salas-Jacobson said in a news release. Those crashes cause the greatest number of injuries and deaths to law enforcement personnel, she added.The Florida Highway Patrol conducted a similar operation a few weeks ago on the Don Shula Expressway (State Road 874).In addition to the move-over enforcement, Miami police will have DUI/DRE (Drug Recognition Expert) officers on Watson Island to check and arrest impaired drivers.Here is what's required when a driver sees an emergency vehicle by the roadside:``When an authorized emergency vehicle making use of any visual signals is parked or a wrecker displaying amber rotating or flashing lights is performing a recovery or loading on the roadside, the driver of every other vehicle, as soon as it is safe:• ``Shall vacate the lane closest to the emergency vehicle or wrecker when driving on an interstate highway or other highway with two or more lanes traveling in the direction of the emergency vehicle or wrecker, except when otherwise directed by a law enforcement officer.• Or ``shall slow to a speed that is 20 miles per hour less than the posted speed limit when the posted speed limit is 25 miles per hour or greater; or travel at 5 miles per hour when the posted speed limit is 20 miles per hour or less, when driving on a two-lane road, except when otherwise directed by a law enforcement officer.''
