I would say that 90% of the time the survey crews are near the road ways doing their job for State in County or in some cases the City for upcoming road work. They many are looking the other way and not for approaching traffic. These Guys might just need the protection of the Move over Law. I always slow down a bit and give them a sporting chance. Just saying. Survey crews be careful!!!

It probably be nice if citizens slowed down some. As if people in Escambia Co didn’t know there are county inmates working on the side of the roads all the time.

So if ANYONE with a name on their vehicle is on the side of the road we are to disrupt traffic flow and cause backups. How about they GET OFF THE ROAD! Everyone needs to be careful when driving but that's just logical and even more so when something unusual is happening. BUT A TICKET! Why are't children, joggers, people taking a stroll, someone mowing, bicycles,... included in the law? If it's an ACTUAL emergency vehicle then of course. Slow down and move over. They don't have a choice. This is getting ridiculous.

I have to slow down for all the above mentioned people to 20 mph less than the speed limit. That means sometime i will be driving on the interstate at 35 mph. I wont be recognized after a18 wheeler hits me from behind doing 75mph Just saying if they keep adding people to this list they should move the speed limit down to 45 rather than moving it up to 75.

Too bad there are those who don't have that compassion...and you have to legislate to care about another human being.

Once again, where’s the personal responsibility? Working in that environment one MUST ALWAYS have their head on a swivel. When it is YOUR LIFE on the line, you can not rely on others to be your eyes and ears. “As they are involved in their duties, they tend not to observe the traffic,” Watson said. “Many times they have their backs to the oncoming traffic.”
