In Illinois, you can either change lanes, or if unable to move over, you can slow down. I personally think this is a good law. We had a fireman killed one night in Southern Illinois when a Greyhound blew by and clipped him. I think the Illinois law may have been a result of his death.
I worked in road construction for 34 years, marking patching, stationing and other lane related duties. It's amazing how many people will drive within inches of someone - at interstate speeds. You can't get mad at them - they've never been on the ground in that situation. The law helps make them aware of this little bit of common courtesy.
I can't explain the law as an attorney would, but I understand the need for it as a highway worker would.
