The buses will be rolling out with our most precious cargo, so remember…
When you see a school bus with its amber lights flashing, you must slow down and prepare to stop.
In the following situations, traffic approaching the bus from both directions, must STOP for the bus to allow children to cross:
On a two-lane roadway
On a two-lane roadway with a center turning lane
On a four-lane roadway without a median separation
