As schools in the region resume classes this week, the Tennessee Highway Safety Office is issuing an important reminder to drivers regarding the safety protocols surrounding school buses. When a school bus activates its stop arm and flashing lights, it signals that the vehicle has come to a halt to allow children to board or disembark.
It is crucial for motorists to understand that they must come to a complete stop and remain stationary until the red lights cease flashing, the stop arm retracts, and the bus resumes its journey. Only then is it safe to continue driving. This reminder serves to ensure the safety of children as they navigate their way to and from school.
