moving over
Shifting to clear
Moving over is shifting position to make room for someone or something else.
On a bench or in bed: Move over, I need to sit down.
In traffic, changing lanes: The truck was moving over without signaling.
Figuratively, stepping aside to let others advance: The old guard is finally moving over for younger leadership.
