๐DO I NEED TO STOP? starts this week and we encourage everyone to be familiar with the laws about what to do when school buses stop to pick up and drop off students.
๐ If thereโs a on a two-lane road that stops to pick up or drop off kids, vehicles traveling in both directions MUST stop.
๐ If thereโs a multi-lane road paved all the way across and a bus stops, all vehicles traveling in both directions MUST stop.
๐ If a roadway is divided with a barrier or an unpaved space that's at least five feet wide, vehicles behind the bus MUST stop, but cars traveling in the opposite direction can proceed with caution.
Remember, this is not only the law, this protects the lives of our school children. We want every student to be safe getting to and from school. We ask for your cooperation to help make that happen. Please, drive safe!
