It's back to school for many students today, so it's important to review how to safely share the road with school buses. Remember, school buses are like traffic signals:
• When overhead lights are flashing yellow: Prepare to stop
• When overhead lights are flashing red: Stop
• When hazard warning lights are flashing: Proceed with caution
For more school bus safety tips, visit the Michigan State Police at https://bit.ly/MSPBusSafety

Here's to a great school year!
