Do you know when to stop for a school bus?

Here is some information for National School Bus Safety Week about how Florida’s school bus stopping requirements apply on different types of roadways.

• Divided highway: Traffic traveling behind the bus must stop. Traffic traveling in the opposite direction is not required to stop when the roadway is divided by a raised barrier or an unpaved median at least 5 feet wide but should proceed with caution.
• Two-lane road: Traffic in both directions must stop.
• Multi-lane road paved across: Traffic in both directions must stop.

During National School Bus Safety Week and Pedestrian Safety Month, remind young pedestrians that safe habits matter before and after the bus ride.

Use sidewalks and crosswalks when available, stay alert to surrounding traffic, and look left-right-left before crossing. Phones, headphones and other distractions can make it harder to see or hear what’s happening nearby.

Safe trips to and from school start with paying attention every step of the way.

National School Bus Safety Week is October 19–23.

Millions of children across the country ride a school bus each day. While school buses are statistically safe, the areas around buses and bus stops require extra attention.

Drivers should stay alert around schools, buses and bus stops, particularly when children are boarding or leaving the bus.
