MYTH OR FACT? 🚌
You only need to stop for a school bus if you’re driving behind it.
MYTH!
With students heading back to school soon, it’s a good time for a quick refresher on sharing the road with school buses.
🟡 Amber lights? Slow down and prepare to stop.
🔴 Red lights or stop arm activated? Stop and give students plenty of space (at least 20 metres) to safely get on, off and cross the road.
On roads without a median, traffic in both directions must stop. On divided roads with a median, only vehicles travelling in the same direction as the bus are required to stop.
A little extra patience and attention can go a long way in helping protect the students, families and neighbours who make up our communities.
School’s almost back — let’s help everyone get there safely.
