Move Over and Slow Down

Recently, a Mentor police officer narrowly avoided being struck while conducting a routine traffic stop on SR-306.

This serves as a critical reminder to drivers to move over and slow down when you see emergency personnel, hazard vehicles, or tow trucks on the side of the road.

It’s not just a courtesy – it’s the law.

Each year, too many lives are lost due to preventable traffic-related incidents. Losing officers or first responders in the line of duty isn’t an option. Let’s work together to keep everyone safe.
