When a school bus is stopped with flashing red lights and an extended stop arm, drivers must halt, regardless of whether they are behind the bus or approaching from the opposite direction on an undivided roadway. According to Texas Transportation Code § 545.066, vehicles may not proceed until the bus resumes movement, the driver indicates it’s safe to go, or the lights and stop sign are deactivated. Violating this law can lead to fines of up to $1,250 and, more critically, endangers children’s lives. It’s essential to prioritize their safety—always stop for school buses. 🚌❤️ #StopForTheBus #SchoolBusSafety #DriveSafeTexas #ProtectOurKids ************************ 🛑 STOP for School Buses — It’s the Law! 🛑
When a school bus is stopped with flashing red lights and the stop arm extended, drivers must stop—whether you’re behind the bus or approaching from the opposite direction on an undivided roadway (no median).
As per Texas Transportation Code § 545.066, you may not proceed until: ✔️ The bus resumes motion ✔️ The driver signals you to proceed ✔️ Or the lights and stop sign are no longer activated
Passing a stopped school bus can result in fines up to $1,250 — and more importantly, it puts children’s lives at risk.
Let’s protect our kids. Slow down and stop when the bus does. 🚌❤️
