For their safety, here is a reminder for motorists. When a school bus is stopped with red signal lights flashing, the law requires all traffic approaching the bus from the front and from the rear to stop and and remain stopped as long as the red lights on the bus continue to flash. This law applies wherever the maxi- mum speed limit is more than 35 miles per hour. There is one excep- tion to this rule.

For the protection of these young passengers, school buses and their drivers must meet rigid safety standards set by the Ontario Department of Trans- port.
