An emergency zone is defined as a zone with vehicles with 360 degrees of flashing lights. So, when you see a tow operator or another emergency responder…PLEASE slow down and move over. Otherwise, The Hollywood Mirror you could face up to a 60 day suspension of your license for reckless endangerment.
