🛑 School Bus Safety Reminder 🚌
As students head back to school, the Rogersville Police Department reminds everyone to slow down and stay alert around school buses.
When a school bus stops and extends its stop arm with flashing red lights:
🔸 STOP and remain stopped until the lights stop flashing and the stop arm is retracted.
🔸 Never pass a stopped school bus unless you are on the opposite side of a divided highway with a physical median.
🔸 Watch for children crossing the road—they may be difficult to see and can unexpectedly enter the roadway.
🔸 Eliminate distractions, put your phone away, and allow extra time during morning and afternoon school hours.
🚓 Officers will conduct school bus safety enforcement throughout the school year to protect our students. Violations can result in significant fines and place children's lives at risk.
Let's all do our part to keep our students safe. One moment of patience could save a child's life.
