The Saint John Police will be conducting a Slow Down, Move Over Campaign between May 27 and May 28, 2026. The focus of the campaign is to promote safety for all emergency and service personnel through education and enforcement.
The following are some reminders for motorists in New Brunswick:
- An authorized emergency vehicle is an ambulance, a firefighting or fire department vehicle, and a vehicle operated by a police officer;
- A service vehicle is a tow truck, a private or public utility corporation vehicle, and a road safety or maintenance vehicle under contract with the province of New Brunswick; and
- When an emergency or service vehicle is stopped on the road and has its flashing lights on, drivers must slow down to half the posted speed limit and proceed with caution, make sure it is safe to proceed, then move over to the left, away from the vehicle and, if there are two or more lanes of traffic, the driver must move into another lane if it can be done safely.
Together a safe, secure, healthy community
