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 Teen Driver Safety Week is a good time for Florida families to review the requirements and restrictions that apply as teens gain experience behind the wheel.

Florida’s graduated licensing requirements include:

• Learner’s license holders must always be accompanied by a licensed driver age 21 or older.
• Teens must complete at least 50 hours of supervised driving, including 10 hours at night.
• Drivers age 16 may not drive between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m.
• Drivers age 17 may not drive between 1 a.m. and 5 a.m.

Exceptions to the nighttime restrictions apply when driving to or from work or when accompanied by a licensed driver age 21 or older.

Stormwater management enhancements are one of the improvements included in the $5.2 million U.S. 90 resurfacing project in Santa Rosa County.

Concrete flumes play an important role in collecting and directing stormwater away from the roadway. As shown in the accompanying photo, these sloped, concrete channels provide a durable surface that can withstand fast-moving water and protect the surrounding area from erosion.

At the end of the flume, large rocks, called riprap, slow and disperse the water before it reaches the surrounding terrain.

The U.S. 90 resurfacing project extends from the Escambia River Bridge to Woodbine Road and includes resurfacing, guardrail installation, bridge joint rehabilitation, and new signage and pavement markings.

Completion is scheduled for early 2027.

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.
