Tips for Drivers:

• Watch for children walking to and from the bus stop as well as standing at the bus stop
• Yellow flashing lights on a school bus mean that a bus is preparing to stop. Do not try to pass the bus! Begin slowing and prepare to stop your vehicle.
• Red flashing lights indicate that a bus has stopped to load or unload children. Stop your car and wait for the bus lights to stop flashing before moving your vehicle. Passing a loading or unloading school bus is reckless driving.
• Oncoming vehicles, separated by a physical barrier in the road, do not have to stop for buses.
