It's back to school day - Time to refresh on school bus safety! Do you know when you can and when you can not pass a school bus when it's stopped? Check out the graphic below!

🛑What To Do When a School Bus Stops 🛑
It's Day 1 and school is back in session soon. Time to refresh on school bus safety for the kids!

📍 If you’re behind the bus (same direction):
🚨 Flashing red or amber lights = No passing — be ready to stop.
🛑 When the stop arm extends:
✅ Stop at least 15 feet behind the bus
✅ Stay stopped until the stop arm retracts and the bus moves
✅ Continue with caution

📍 If you’re meeting the bus (opposite direction):
⚠️ Amber lights flashing? Slow to 20 mph or less and be prepared to stop
🛑 When the stop arm comes out:
✅ Stop in front of the bus
✅ Stay stopped until the stop arm retracts
✅ Proceed carefully
