Bus Awareness: Here’s what you need to know:
- Yellow flashing lights on bus means the bus is preparing to stop
- Drivers, in both directions MUST prepare to stop as well
- Red flashing lights and the “stop” arm means the bus has STOPPED
- Drivers in both directions MUST stop; unless there is a concrete median dividing the road, at which time vehicles on the opposite side of the median do not have to stop
- Slow down and use extra caution when traveling through school zones
Passing a stopped school bus, with its red lights flashing, puts young lives at risk AND could lead to a fine of $400 to $2,000 and six demerit points for a first offence.
