Back-to-school is in full swing, and with it, we would like to share some safety tips to keep in mind when driving in school zones: - Put your phone away and pay attention to the roads. - Slow down and abide by posted school zone speed limits. - Never pass a school bus that is stopped to load or unload children. It is illegal in all 50 states. Also, never pass a school bus on the right; it is illegal and dangerous. - When a school bus is stopped with flashing red lights, traffic in both directions must stop. - The area 10 feet around a school bus is at the highest risk for a child to be hit, so give enough room to allow space for children to get on or off the bus.
