94.3 the Wolf Country That'll Make You Howl!
Drivers reminded to stop for school buses
Drivers are reminded to help keep kids safe during National School Bus Safety Week, which runs now through October 24.
The theme for National School Bus Safety Week this year is: “Safe Rides, Everyday Heroes.” In addition to serving as a reminder of the importance of following school bus safety laws, the National Association for Pupil Transportation says the week is an opportunity to recognize the transportation directors, drivers, technicians, and trainers who get kids to and from school safely.
In Kentucky, drivers travelling in both directions are required to stop for a school bus when the red lights are flashing and the stop arm is extended if they are on a two-lane roadway or a two-lane roadway with a center turn lane. Only drivers traveling in the same direction as the bus are required to stop if the bus stops on a four-lane roadway with no median separation, a divided highway with median separation, and a four-lane roadway with a center turn lane.
The penalty for passing a stopped school bus ranges between a $100 and $200 fine and possibly 30 to 60 days in jail for the first offense. The penalty jumps to a $300 to $500 fine and up to six months in jail on subsequent offenses.
The week is also an opportunity to remind students of safety tips related to getting on and off the school bus. Visit the Kentucky Center for School Safety’s website for more information.
