School Almost Back in Session: Be Safe Around School Buses

Here are three rules of the road for stopping for Virginia School Buses.

From the Virginia DMV:

When approaching a school bus with flashing signals or flashing signals and an extended stop sign on a public or private road, you must stop and remain stopped until all children are clear of the roadway and the bus moves again.

You must also stop if the bus is loading or unloading children and the signal devices are not functioning properly.

You do not have to stop, however, if you are traveling in the opposite direction on roadways separated by a physical barrier or unpaved median area.
