Remember: The bus stop arm isn't a suggestion -- it's the law! 🚍🛑

When the bus stop arm is out, all traffic traveling in both directions must stop. The only exception is on divided highways with a physical barrier, where only traffic traveling in the same direction must stop).

Each day during National School Bus Safety Week, we'll share safety tips and facts. Tune back in tomorrow for another one! #SuccessStartsHere
