Our students are reviewing School Bus Safety this week! Learning together, we share some School Bus Safety Tips for Motorists as well:
-Motorists must stop at least 20 feet from a school bus that is displaying red flashing lights and/or its stop arm is extended when approaching from the rear and from the opposite direction on undivided roads.
-Red flashing lights on buses indicates students are either entering or exiting the bus.
-Altering a route or schedule to avoid a bus is one way motorists can help improve safety. In doing so, motorists won’t find themselves behind a bus and as a result, potentially putting children at risk.
-Watch for school crossing patrols and pedestrians. Reduce speeds in and around school zones.
-Watch and stop for pedestrians — the law applies to all street corners, for both marked and unmarked crosswalks (all street corners) — every corner is a crosswalk.
