🚌 SCHOOL BUS SAFETY: KNOW WHEN TO STOP 🚦

With students heading back to school, we’re asking everyone to take a few seconds to refresh themselves on school bus stopping laws.

When you see those flashing red lights and the stop arm come out, slow down, pay attention, and know when you’re required to stop. The rules can differ depending on whether you’re traveling on a two-lane road, four-lane road, or divided highway.

👀 LOOK. STOP. STAY ALERT.

A few extra seconds behind the wheel can help keep a child safe. Please watch the video, share it with your family, and especially remind any new or teen drivers in your household.

🔥 BACK-TO-SCHOOL SAFETY REMINDER 🚌🎒

Our Raymond Fire & Rescue member recognition window got a little back-to-school makeover! ✏️🖍️ This month, we’re "Coloring Our Community with Care, Courage & Compassion” while sharing an important reminder as students head back to school.

As buses hit the roads and kids return to sidewalks, crosswalks, and bike routes, let’s all do our part to keep them safe!

🚌 Watch for school buses - Slow down and be prepared to stop when you see flashing lights and an extended stop arm.

🚸 Stay alert in school zones - Obey reduced speed limits and watch carefully for children crossing the street.

📵 Put the phone down - Distracted driving can have serious consequences, especially around schools and bus stops.

🚗 Expect more traffic - Give yourself extra time and never pass a vehicle stopped for pedestrians.

🚲 Look out for walkers and bicyclists - Check intersections, crosswalks, driveways, and blind spots before turning.

🏠 Parents & caregivers: Remind children to use sidewalks and crosswalks, look both ways before crossing, and never walk between parked cars.

🚒 A few extra seconds of patience can help make sure every student gets to school-and back home-safely.

From all of us at Raymond Fire & Rescue, have a safe, happy, and successful school year! 📚✏️
