Can something be done to stop vehicles taking over school buses when they are stopping to drop kids? …. all passing drivers should stop until all kids have crossed safely.
Thank you
Dear Saira,
Thank you for highlighting your concern. Whether on a main street or small road, and regardless of the speed limit, motorists traveling in both directions must stop, and are prohibited from passing a bus when it is stopped to load and/or unload persons and has its hazard lights flashing. Motorists should not start moving until the hazard lights have stopped flashing and the bus begins to move. Passing a school bus is a serious traffic violation as per our Traffic and Vehicle Safety Policy

HSE in collaboration with Security will be launching a Community Bus Safety Campaign shortly.
Best Regards.
