Now that school is back in session, you will be seeing school buses on the road, so we thought it would be a good time to review when you need to stop for a school bus. On roads, with a single lane in each direction, all vehicles in both directions are required to come to a complete stop until the flashing lights and stop sign are deactivated. The driver of a vehicle traveling in the opposite direction, upon a divided highway or multiple lane highway, does not need to stop. The vehicles traveling in the same direction would still be required to come to a complete stop until the flashing lights and stop sign are deactivated. Fines for violating any of the bus rules can be hefty, so please make sure you know what to do.

Our goal with the CHP is to make sure all students can safely be picked up and dropped off.

The weather is heating up and the brush surrounding the highways is extremely dry in the desert. Please discard of lit ci******es appropriately and don’t let your chains drag when towing. A small spark can create a fire and affect traffic conditions.

Yesterday, we had the honor of attending the Caltrans District 8 Memorial, standing alongside Caltrans District 8 and our partners to remember and honor those who gave their lives in service to keeping our roadways safe.

Assistant Chief Branconier along with CHP leadership from across the region came together in support, reflecting on the sacrifices made and the responsibility we all share to protect those working on our highways.

As the Inland Empire continues to see significant road improvements, we want to remind everyone that these work zones are active, and lives are on the line.

Slow down for the cone zone. Move over when you see emergency lights.

The California Highway Patrol will be actively patrolling with enhanced enforcement in construction zones to protect workers and the public.

Every cone represents someone’s life. Let’s do our part to make sure everyone goes home safely.
