๐ Bus Stop Safety Is a Shared Responsibility ๐
Every school day, our students rely on families, bus operators, and motorists working together to ensure a safe trip to and from school. Bus stops are important places where patience and attention matter.
Drivers: When a school bus has its stop arm extended and red warning lights flashing, West Virginia law requires you to stop and remain stopped until the bus resumes motion, the driver signals you to proceed, or the warning lights are turned off.
Violating this law carries serious consequences:
โ ๏ธ First offense: $500-$1,000 fine, possible jail time, and a 60-day license suspension.
โ ๏ธ Second offense: $1,000-$1,500 fine, possible jail time, and a 180-day license suspension.
โ ๏ธ Third or subsequent offense: $2,000 fine, jail time, and a one-year license suspension.
A little extra patience behind the wheel helps keep school transportation running safely and smoothly for everyone. Thank you for doing your part and stopping for the bus. ๐๐
