Believe it or not, back to school time has arrived in Bucks County and TMA Bucks' Community Traffic Safety Program is reminding commuters of Pennsylvania’s School Bus Stopping Law with hundreds of school buses back on the road.
The PA School Bus Stopping Law, according to PennDOT, says motorists approaching a school bus with its red lights flashing and stop arm extended are required to stop in all directions at least 10 feet from the bus. The only exception to the law is when a school bus is stopped on the opposite side of a highway clearly separated by a divider, such as concrete barriers or grass medians. Even in this situation, motorists should remain watchful of students trying to cross the road to catch the bus.
