DENVER (KDVR) -- If you've ever driven on Colorado roads, you have probably seen the signs that tell you to move over or slow down for emergency and maintenance vehicles, or for trucks putting on chains.Well, starting August 7, the law expands and you'll be required to move over and slow down for any vehicle with its hazard lights on.The new change is because HB 23-1123, which passed with bipartisan support in March and was signed into law soon after, will go into effect.What is the move over, slow down law?Essentially, when you see a vehicle on the side of the road that the law applies to, you have to move over so there's one lane of buffer between you and the vehicle.

He’s out of options, so keeping him in the minors wasn’t on the table.But the predicament in which the Red Sox find themselves is much bigger than Reyes alone, and activating him is only a stopgap.
