REMINDER: It is illegal to pass a school bus with its red lights flashing. When you see the red lights flashing, it means children are either getting on or off the bus and may cross the road.

Failure to stop for a school bus will cost you $767.50.

[Wisconsin DOT @WisconsinDOT]

The @wistatepatrol increased its enforcement efforts this week to help educate motorists about Wisconsin’s Move Over Law.

Motorists are required to move over or slow down for stopped emergency vehicles. The law recently expanded to include stranded motorists.

#MoveOverDay

[511 Wisconsin @511WI]

October 17 is Move Over Day; a reminder to protect those working and helping on the roadside. If you see a stopped emergency vehicle or stranded motorist on the side of the road:
• Move over when possible.
• Slow down if you can’t safely change lanes.
• Always stay alert.

During peak deer crash season, remember to:

🦌 Slow down
🦌 Avoid distractions
🦌 Scan the road ahead, especially at dawn and dusk

If you see a deer, there are likely more.

[Wisconsin DOT @WisconsinDOT]

DYK? There were nearly 18,000 deer/vehicle crashes last year, and nearly 6,000 of those took place in October and November. Deer are especially dangerous for motorcyclists – there is about a 37% chance that a motorcycle/deer crash will result in a fatality or serious injury.

Farm vehicle safety is October’s Law of the Month. With the busy fall harvest season underway, Inspector Cory Shilts reminds motorists and farmers to share the road. https://t.co/IYr8jgp84g
