"An award could be presented for

New law in effect
for school bus stopping
Starting this summer, drivers in
Ontario should be prepared to stop
for a yellow school bus at any lime
-- not just during regular school
hours.
School bus drivers, whether they
are transporting children to and
from school or on other outings,
will use their overhead flashing red
lights and stop arms at all times of
the day and night to indicate that
they are about to let passengers on
or off the bus.
This is one of the amendments to
the school bus section of the High
way Traffic Act (HTA) which will
go into effect July 1.
"The consistency which will be
established by the new law makes it
easier for motorists to anticipate
when they must stop," said Trans
portation Minister Ed Philip. "We
want children to know that they
may always cross safely in front of
a school bus with its lights flash
ing."
Any lime a school bus stops and
its overhead flashing red lights and
stop arm are activated, approaching
traffic must stop at least 20 metres
behind the bus. Traffic meeting the

There are two levels of awards pre
sented. The Conservation Award of
Distinction will be given to those
making a long-term, outstanding
contribution to conservation. To
recognize shorter-term efforts, Cer
tificates of Appreciation are also
presented. The deadline for nomi
nations is September 14, 1991.
The presentation of the awards

bus must also stop. The only excep
tion is when the road is divided by
a median strip, separating traffic
travelling in opposite directions.
Drivers who don't stop will face a
minimum fine of $253.75 and six
demerit points. Probationary
drivers will receive an automatic
30-day licence suspension.
Another change to HTA prohibits
a school bus driver from using the
overhead flashing red lights and
slop arm within 60 metres of a traf
fic light. Instead, bus drivers who
stop at a traffic light to let children
on or off the bus will instruct chil
dren to cross with the signals.
"This will eliminate a potentially
confusing situation where we see
two sets of lights al intersections —
the traffic lights and the school bus
lights — and are unsure of‘which
lights to obey," said Philip.
