Here Are Rules on stopping for school buses made simple

(1) If you are going the same way as a school bus that is flashing red lights and has the stop arm extended, you must stop behind the bus and cannot move until the bus retracts the stop arm and turns off the flashing red lights.

(2) If you are going the opposite way as a school bus that is flashing red lights and has the stop arm extended, you must stop in front of the bus and cannot move until the bus retracts the stop arm and turns off the flashing red lights -- UNLESS:

(a) You are on a divided highway and the one-way roadways are separated by an unpaved space at least five feet in width, or (b) You are on a divided highway and the one-way roadways are separated by a physical barrier.

In short, you must stop for a school bus that is flashing red lights and has the stop arm extended -- unless (1) you are going the opposite direction, (2) you are on a divided highway, and (3) the divided highway has either a five-foot unpaved space or a physical barrier separating the roadways.

If all three of the above are present, you should continue driving at a legal speed, but with an increased awareness that school-aged children are in the vicinity.

Also, we want to remind you to watch out for school zones and slow down!  Watch for speed signs, crossing guards, and for anything or anyone around bus stops or around children walking or biking to school that seems suspicious. Predators and pedophiles will be out with no good intentions, so it is up to us to watch out and be aware. Our children are our most precious resource, and we want to make sure they are safe!

Want to know who and where the predators and pedophiles are in your neighborhood?  Click here.  Knowing who these people are and what they look like might just save one of our children a nightmare.  Keep your eyes open and help to keep your neighborhood safe!  It is our responsibility as adults and citizens to be vigilant and responsible.

Use our Quick Link Resource for links to local city, state and U.S. government information you may need.  We have even added a link to find Sexual Predators that live in your neighborhood.  With the kids being home from school, it is wise to know who may be a danger and who to watch.  Be aware and help eliminate a potential nightmare.  Click here for the Quick Link Resource.
