One more thing, there is currently a law on the books which probably pertains more towards a construction site along side a roadway than a cruiser stopping a vehicle for an infraction. It was under the old so-called Articles and Section part of motor vehicle law, which mostly only troopers dealt with. It was called "men and equipment in road", A4-Sec. 20, I think, it directed under this law that vehicle traveling in the same lane had to slow down to 20 m.p.h., which incidently is the same speed your suppose to slow to while traveling through and intersection. These laws would swallowed up and can still be enforced under another group of rules. I think though, that a cruiser stopped in a roadway for any reason would come under this law.
