The holiday season is a busy time of year, which means you may be more distracted than usual while driving. PLEASE remember that it is illegal to pass a school bus within the roadway as it drops off or picks up passengers—regardless of the direction of approach. Remember that there is no “safe” way to pass a school bus, so be cautious when sharing the road with it. Take a pledge to brake for the school bus and share this post. #schoolbussafety #yellowbuses #yellowschoolbus

If you are driving, remember these simple rules: 🚌Yellow flashing lights indicate the bus is preparing to stop to load or unload children. You should slow down and prepare to stop your vehicle. 🛑Red flashing lights and extended stop arms indicate the bus has stopped and children are getting on or off. You must stop your car and wait until the red lights stop flashing, the extended stop-arm is withdrawn, and the bus begins moving, before you can start driving again. 🚸Even when lights aren’t flashing, watch for children, particularly in the morning or mid-afternoon, around school arrival and dismissal times. Be alert as you back out of a driveway, or drive through a neighborhood, school zone or bus stop.

Reports are STILL coming in of irresponsible and un-safe driving in school zones!!! Use your phone, before you leave the house and/or after you arrive at your destination!
