🛑 ATTENTION KENTUCKY DRIVERS: 🛑Starting this week,
Kentucky’s new school bus safety law (House Bill 7) is officially in effect! 🚌✨School districts across the state can now equip buses with exterior cameras to catch drivers who illegally pass them.
If you run a bus stop arm, you will be caught on camera, and the fines are steep:đź’° $300 for a first offenseđź’° $500 for a second offense
Do you know when you legally HAVE to stop?
🔹 2-Lane & 3-Lane Roads: ALL traffic in both directions must stop.
🔹 Multi-lane Roads WITH a Center Turn Lane: ALL traffic in both directions must stop. A paved center turn lane does NOT count as a barrier.
🔹 Divided Highways (4+ lanes): Only traffic following the bus must stop. Opposite traffic can proceed ONLY if there is an unpaved median or a raised physical barrier.
🔹 Church Buses: Yes, you must stop for these too when their red lights are flashing!
Bottom line: If the red lights are flashing and the stop arm is out, “STOP”
Let's keep our Kentucky kids safe this school year. ❤️
