SJSO reminds residents to watch out for school buses

For many students, school is back in session. School buses are back in operation, and we are asking the public to adhere to school bus safety traffic laws.

As a reminder to motorists, all vehicular traffic must stop no less than 30 feet from a school bus when the bus’s stop signals are activated. A vehicle approaching a stopped school bus from the opposite direction does not have to stop when traffic is separated by a divided median. However, drivers should always remain cautious of children boarding or exiting the bus.
