School Bus Safety: A Guide for Drivers and Parents

As students head back to school, it is crucial for drivers to remember the rules of sharing the road with school buses. Parents can help keep children safe by ensuring they are dressed in visible clothing and teaching them safety measures like staying 5 giant steps away from the street and waiting for the bus to stop completely before getting off. Drivers must stop when approaching a school bus with flashing red lights and a stop arm extended, except on divided highways with a raised divider. Passing a stopped bus is illegal and can result in fines and license suspension. Additionally, it is important to be hands-free and put down your phone in school zones. The Florida Department of Transportation provides reminders for school zone speed limits, crosswalk safety, bicycle safety, distraction-free driving, and being patient during drop-off and pick-up times.
