·         On 04/03/21 Troopers from section 1 set up a move over detail on Route 4 in Auburn. Winn’s Towing brought out a wrecker loaded with a vehicle and parked it on the shoulder. From the hours of 1800-2000 there were 19 stops, 17 warnings and 2 tickets. The vast majority of the traffic obeyed the move over law.
