School Bus Safety Week: What to do when approaching a bus

MIAMI VALLEY — Monday marks the start of National School Bus Safety Week.

>> Cool this morning; Sunny week ahead

As a reminder, Clark County lists what drivers should do when they approach a school bus:

  • Drivers approaching a school bus from either direction are required to stop at least 10 feet away
  • When a road is divided into four or more lanes, only traffic driving in the same direction needs to stop
  • Drivers can resume travel once the bus continues driving

The county also reminds people that yellow flashing lights are a warning that the bus is about to stop.

There will be multiple troopers along bus routes and in school zones this week to ensure the safety of students, according to a release from Clark County.
