BEND, OR -- Local law enforcement will join forces for a traffic safety detail, starting Tuesday. Through Thursday, they’ll focus on reducing speeds, injuries and distracted driving on Highways 20 and 97. In the past month, there have been at least four fatal crashes in Central Oregon. 

Bend, Redmond, Black Butte and Sunriver Police will take part, along with the Deschutes County Sheriff's Office and State Police. 

When you see law enforcement conducting traffic stops, they remind drivers to move over to give them space. Tthe Move Over Law requires anyone driving up behind a police car or emergency vehicle pulled over on the roadside with emergency lights flashing to move over into another lane. If you can’t safely change lanes, you must slow down to at least 5 MPH below the speed limit and leave as much room as possible for the emergency vehicle. This also applies to any vehicle stopped on a roadway and displaying hazard lights.
