Just a reminder to do your part on the roads: Stay alert and follow the laws to avoid senseless accidents. for school buses.

for school buses! Stay alert and know when to stop: On a two or three lane road – drivers on BOTH SIDES of the road must stop when a bus is dropping off or picking up students. On roads with four or more lanes – drivers traveling the opposite direction of the bus DO NOT have to stop.
