September 14, 2008 - School Bus Traffic Tips
|
Drivers of motor vehicles on a two-lane road or private road must slow their vehicle to no more than twenty miles per hour when approaching or passing a school bus with amber warning lights flashing. Drivers must stop when a school bus with red signal lights are flashing, and may not stop closer than fifteen feet from the school bus.
The exception to the required stops would be when the road has two or more lanes in each direction. Drivers meeting a bus with flashing red signals from the opposite direction as the bus is traveling are not required to stop. However, vehicles traveling in the same direction as the bus with flashing red signals must stop.
