🛑 School Bus Safety PSA 🛑
Do you know when to stop for a school bus?
Here’s a quick guide:

✔️ Two-lane road: Everyone stops.
✔️ Multi-lane road (no median): Everyone stops.
✔️ Divided highway (with median or barrier): Only traffic behind the bus stops; opposite side proceeds with caution.

Stopping for the bus isn’t just the law—it protects our students. ❤️
