During the school year it is vital for Alamance-Burlington drivers to refresh their knowledge of school bus safety laws and be extra alert around buses. Remember that it is illegal to pass a stopped school bus from either direction when the stop sign arm is out and red lights are flashing. Allow students space to enter and exit the bus safely. Watch for children who may dart across the street unexpectedly. And always drive slowly and scan carefully for buses making stops in neighborhoods. We all play a role in getting students to and from school without incident. So remain attentive, follow traffic rules regarding stopped buses, and let’s ensure our kids stay safe this academic year.
