Schools across our region are beginning to open this week, and a new public awareness campaign in Ohio reminds drivers to stop when school buses drop off or pick up students. On two or three-lane roads in Ohio, drivers on both sides must stop when a bus has red lights flashing and its stop sign extended. On Ohio roads with four or more lanes, drivers traveling in the opposite direction of the bus do not have to stop. Learn more at bit.ly/3yMJFZX. #STOPmeansSTOP
