Tips for MotoristsPlease be alert and exercise patience and caution, especially around children as they wait at school bus stops and as they load and unload school buses. Be on the alert as children walk to and from their school bus stop. Be ready to act when you see the yellow flashing lights on the front and the rear of a school bus. You must be focused and exercise caution any time you are in the vicinity of a school bus stop, as student riders can sometimes be impulsive. A school bus means children, and children equal unpredictability.
