Safety Starts with You
Slow Down and Move Over when you hear, see, or get alerted of roadway responders
Every year, law enforcement, fire and rescue, EMS, public works, transportation, towing, and other responders put their lives at risk to clear motor vehicle crashes and other roadway incidents such as stalled vehicles or debris. Responders are the first on scene, protecting every road user, and their safety deserves to be top of mind. When a traffic incident responder is struck, it affects not just their family and friends; it affects fellow responders and the community with fewer heroes and resources to support broader needs.
Emergency personnel and roadside professionals need space to do their jobs safely and effectively. Drivers giving professionals the room to work is key to that. HAAS Alert’s Safety Cloud® service notifies drivers in advance of the presence of emergency fleets on the side of the road compared to traditional lights, sirens, and other analog alerting tools.
NEWCOM works with public safety agencies to implement HAAS Alert’s collision prevention service, Safety Cloud. With timely alerts inside vehicles, drivers have time to move over and slow down. This ensures the safety of emergency responders and workers while in accordance with the law.
Crash Responder Safety Week is November 17-21
Every minute of every day, law enforcement, fire and rescue, emergency medical services (EMS), public works, transportation, towing, and other responders work roadside to make roadways safe for all road users. These traffic incident responders put their lives at risk when clearing each of the nearly 7 million annual motor vehicle crashes or the broader range of incidents such as stalled vehicles or roadway debris.
Crash Responder Safety Week (CRSW) is an opportunity to promote road user awareness and adherence to Safe, Quick Clearance laws (e.g. Slow Down, Move Over or Driver Removal laws) and Traffic Incident Management (TIM) Responder Training for all traffic incident responders.¹
During Crash Responder Safety Week and every other day of the year, NEWCOM is dedicated to working towards a safer and more connected roadway for everyone. #CRSW
