The School Bus Stopping Law
changes September 1st.
Here are the new regulations
and what they mean to you:
7246 SCH US
X80 NUT 'PAS
SI5NALS
FIAI10
it s an am 44 i
Effective September 1st, all traffic from
both directions must stop whenever a
chrome -yellow school bus flashes its red
signal lights front and rear... regardless of
the posted speed limit. (The penalty for not
doing so is a maximum fine of $100 and 4
demerit points.)
The law applies everywhere—on high-
ways, country roads, and city, town or
village streets.
Until now, motorists going in the opposite
direction had to stop only when the posted
maximum speed limit was more than 35
miles per hour. But as of September lst,
everyone must stop—except in one in-
stance: motorists going in the opposite
direction from the school bus on the other
side of a multi -lane highway divided by a
physical barrier.
As a motorist, you must drive with extra
care whenever you see a school bus in front
of you or coming towards you, because if
the school bus flashes its red lights, traffic
from both directions must stop.
If all of us observe this law our children
will be that much safer. Remember, school
bus safety is everybody's responsibility.
As a parent, encourage your children to
follow the school bus safety rules learned at
school—helping the bus driver by behaving
quietly and keeping seated until it is time to
leave the bus.
