Bus Safety Laws

Bus safety laws are regulations designed to protect children during their commute to and from school. These laws typically require drivers to stop when a school bus has its extended stop sign and flashing lights activated, indicating that children are boarding or disembarking. Additionally, many laws stipulate safe zones around buses where children should avoid playing or crossing the street. It’s crucial for drivers and pedestrians to follow these rules to ensure the safety of students and reduce the risk of accidents during school transport.
