Thank you Oregon State Fire Marshal for this opportunity.

School Bus Stop Laws

We have seen quite an uptick in situations where drivers are not stopping properly for school busses when they stop to load/unload students. We want to remind all drivers what they need to do in this situation to help keep you and our kids safe!

In Oregon, you MUST stop for a school bus with flashing red lights or an extended stop arm, no matter which direction you're traveling, unless the road is physically divided by a median or barrier. This includes roads with multiple lanes.

Key Rules You Need to Know:

When red lights are flashing, or the stop arm is out: All traffic must stop immediately. This includes cars coming from behind the bus AND from the opposite direction.

Stay stopped until the red lights turn off and the bus starts moving again.

Painted lines do NOT count. A yellow center line, solid or broken, or a painted turn lane does not create a divided highway. You still must stop in both directions.

Amber (yellow) lights = The bus is preparing to stop. Slow down and get ready.

Oregon now uses stop arm cameras — you can receive tickets from these videos if you illegally pass a stopped school bus.

Penalties: Passing a stopped school bus is a Class A traffic violation with a fine of up to $2000!

Protect our kids. When in doubt, STOP!
