Please take a moment to refresh your memory on when to stop for a school bus: 🛑 Two-Lane Road: Drivers traveling in BOTH directions must stop for a school bus with its red lights flashing, even if there is a paved, raised, or grassy median. 🛑 Four or More Lanes: Only drivers traveling in the same direction as the bus must stop. Traffic on the opposite side should proceed with caution. Let's do everything we can to ensure a safe school year! 🚸📚 #CCSDTransportation #SchoolBusSafety #BackToSchool #SafeSchoolYear
