WE STOP AT ALL RAILROAD CROSSINGS
All school buses are required by law to stop at ALL railroad crossings. School bus drivers will activate the hazard warning lights when preparing to stop at a railroad crossing. PLEASE be aware of your surroundings and watch out for school buses preparing to stop at a railroad crossing.
WHEN TO STOP FOR A SCHOOL BUS
Learn and obey the school bus laws. Learn the "flashing signal light system" that school bus drivers use to alert motorists of pending actions:
- Yellow flashing lights indicate that the bus is preparing to stop to load or unload children. Motorists should slow down and prepare to stop their vehicles.
- Red flashing lights and extended stop arm indicate that the bus has stopped, and that children are getting on or off. Motorists must stop their vehicles and wait until the red lights stop flashing, and the extended stop sign is withdrawn before they can start driving again.
