Atlantic Community School District Transportation Director David Eckles is issuing a reminder to motorists about the law, when it comes to passing school buses that are preparing to pick-up and drop-off students. The primary thing to remember he says, is that on two-lane roads, the law requires ALL drivers to stop for a stopped school bus with its amber or red lights flashing, and stop arm extended. Do not pass a bus that has stopped, because children you may not be able to see, could be walking around the front of the bus when they are coming home from, or going to, school.

On four-lane roads, motorists in the opposite lanes of travel do not have to stop, but those behind the bus must stop until the bus begins moving again. Slow down and pay attention. Children’s lives are at stake!
