🚦 Traffic Tip Tuesday 🚦

🚌🛑 Stopped School Bus – Know When to STOP!

Those flashing red lights are not a suggestion.

When a school bus stops to pick up or drop off students and its required visual signals are activated, drivers approaching the bus generally must STOP before reaching the bus.

Drivers may not proceed until the bus begins moving again, the bus driver signals them to proceed, or the visual signal is no longer activated.

📖 Texas Transportation Code § 545.066 addresses passing a stopped school bus and also contains specific exceptions involving separate roadways and certain controlled-access highways.

⚠️ Remember: A child getting on or off a school bus may unexpectedly enter the roadway. Saving a few seconds is NEVER worth risking a child’s life.

🚔 Today’s Traffic Tip:
See the bus. See the flashing lights. STOP and pay attention.

Our children are counting on every driver to make the safe choice. ❤️
