As students are headed back to school, keeping them safe should always be top-of-mind!
If you are driving near a school bus, remember these simple rules:
🟡 Yellow flashing lights mean that the bus is preparing to stop to load or unload children. Slow down and prepare to stop your vehicle.
🔴 Red flashing lights and extended stop arms mean that the bus has stopped and children are getting on or off. Stop your car and wait until the red lights stop flashing, the extended stop-arm is withdrawn, and the bus begins moving.
🚸 Even when lights aren’t flashing, watch for children, particularly in the morning or mid-afternoon, around school arrival and dismissal times. Be alert as you back out of a driveway or drive through a neighborhood, school zone, or bus stop.
