School
buses transport hundreds of thousands of Alberta school children daily.
As a motorist it is up to you to make sure they get to school safely.
- Alternating flashing amber lights mean a bus is slowing down to
stop. Do the same.
- No matter which direction you are coming from, STOP whenever approaching
a stopped bus with activated alternating flashing red lights - unless
the bus is on the opposite side of a divided highway.
- Motorists should always watch for children crossing the road and
be prepared to slow down or stop.
- The speed limit in most school zones and playgrounds is 30 kilometres
per hour. Pay attention to posted speed limits.
- Driver courtesy goes a long way. By simply being alert and cautious
when approaching a school bus, you are contributing to school bus
safety.
