Drivers must give disabled vehicles room

Wisconsin extends its move-over rule to disabled motor vehicles stopped on or within 12 feet of a roadway. These vehicles qualify when warning or hazard lights are on, nearby emergency warning devices are present, or people attending them are visible. Drivers must watch all traffic as they pass. With at least two lanes going their direction, drivers must safely move into a lane not nearest the stopped vehicle. They must stay there until safely clear of it. With only one lane, or when changing lanes is unsafe, drivers must slow to a safe speed until completely past.
