DMV urges drivers to prioritize school bus safety

“Flashing lights on a school bus mean stop completely,” said DMV Acting Commissioner Christian Jackstadt, emphasizing that keeping children safe is a shared responsibility. Motorists should also obey school-zone speed limits, yield at crosswalks, avoid distractions, and watch for children near bus stops and school buildings.

The DMV reminds drivers to slow down when buses display yellow warning lights and to stop whenever red lights are flashing.
