🍎🚌 Happy Back to School 🍎🚌
As students head back to school Concord Police want to remind everyone to help keep our kids safe on their trips to and from school each day.
🚸 Please watch for pedestrians in crosswalks and children waiting at bus stops.
🚌 🛑 BACK TO SCHOOL: RED LIGHTS = FULL STOP
When a school bus is stopped with its red lights flashing, drivers must stop at least 25 feet away and remain stopped until the red lights stop flashing or the bus resumes motion.
On most two-way roads, traffic in both directions must stop. A center turn lane does not make a roadway “divided.”
Remember, school buses may also be smaller vehicles marked with school bus signage and red warning lights. The same stopping requirements apply.
Please slow down, stay alert, and watch carefully for children around school buses and bus stops.
Let’s work together to make sure every student gets to and from school safely.
Red lights = FULL STOP. 🛑
Last week, Sergeant Dana Dexter joined law enforcement agencies from across the area for the 2026 Operation Safe Stop Educational Session!
Operation Safe Stop is all about promoting school bus safety and reminding drivers of the important role we all play in keeping our kids safe. 🛑
We’re proud to have Sergeant Dexter representing Concord Police and helping do our part to keep our students, families, and communities safe!
