🚍 BACK TO SCHOOL SAFETY – KNOW WHEN TO STOP FOR A SCHOOL BUS

As students return to school, the Mecklenburg County Sheriff's Office reminds motorists to know Virginia's school bus stopping law.

⚠️ If the roadway has only a center turn lane (like the one shown below), ALL traffic in both directions MUST STOP when a school bus has its red lights flashing and stop arm extended.

A center turn lane does not exempt oncoming traffic from stopping.

You are only exempt from stopping if the roadway is divided by:
✅ A physical barrier, or
✅ An unpaved median or other divided median separating opposing traffic.

Every time a school bus stops, children may be crossing the roadway. Slow down, stay alert, and obey the law—it could save a child's life.

Protect our children. Stop when the bus stops.

The best parts of the Fourth aren’t always the ones that light up the sky.

They’re the sticky fingers from a chile dog.
The laughter echoing through the sprinkler.
The hugs that last a little longer.
The gratitude we choose to express.
The freedom we sometimes forget to celebrate.

As you enjoy today, remember the men and women serving in our military and the first responders standing ready while many of us gather with family. Their sacrifice helps make these moments possible.

Here’s to full hearts, grateful spirits, unforgettable memories, and a nation worth praying for.

Happy Independence Day! ❤️🤍💙
