MADISON, Wis. (WBAY) - Drivers in Wisconsin are now required to move over or slow down when approaching disabled vehicles on the side of the road under a new law signed by Gov. Tony Evers.

Evers signed Assembly Bill 409, now 2025 Wisconsin Act 54, into law Tuesday, expanding the state’s Move Over law to include disabled vehicles stopped along the road with hazard lights on, emergency devices or flares placed near the vehicle, or one or more persons attending to the vehicle and visible to motorists.

“This bill gets us one step closer to zero deaths on Wisconsin’s roads,” said WisDOT Secretary Kristina Boardman. “It sets in stone the respectful action all drivers should already be taking when approaching any vehicle roadside.”
