School buses are designed with safety in mind — from flashing stop-arms to high-visibility yellow paint and protective seat backing — but it's more dangerous for students to get ON and OFF the bus. 🚏

Here's how you — the driver — can help keep our kids even safer:

🛑 Stop for school buses.
🚸 Slow down in school zones and near bus stops.
📵 Stay focused and put away your cell phone.

Once you start noticing the signs, you can’t unsee them. 👀🚧

Slow down. Stay alert. Every sign in a work zone is there for a reason.

SHARE this critical school bus safety info. ⚠️🚍

Beware of the "Danger Zone" around a school bus. Drivers, it may be hard or impossible to see a child in the "Danger Zone" — and that’s why you should NEVER pass a stopped school bus!

↔️ The zone can extend based on the location of the bus stop. ↔️
