Motorists Should:
-
Be aware it is illegal in every
state to pass a school bus stopped to
load/unload students.
-
Know and understand laws
governing motorist’s driving behavior near a
school bus.
-
Learn the "flashing signal light
system" that school bus drivers use to alert
motorists if they are going to stop to
load/unload students.
-
Know and understand that yellow
flashing lights indicate the bus is preparing to
stop to load or unload children. Motorists
should slow down and prepare to stop their
vehicles.
-
Know and understand that red
flashing lights and extended stop arms indicate
that the bus has stopped, and that children are
getting on or off. Motorists
MUST stop
their cars.
-
Begin moving only when the red
flashing lights are turned off.
-
Watch out for young people who
may be thinking about getting to school, but may
not be thinking about getting there safely.
-
Slow Down. Watch for children
walking in the street, especially if there are
no sidewalks in the neighborhood. Watch for
children playing and gathering near bus stops.
-
Be Alert. Children arriving late
for the bus may dart into the street without
looking for traffic.
