Thank you Taunton for sharing this important reminder!
Reminder!
In Massachusetts, all lanes of traffic in both directions must stop when a school transportation vehicle is stopped to pick up or drop off kids.
Yellow school buses have flashing red lights and stop signs that fold out from the driver’s side. Other school transport vehicles, like 7D vans, have flashing red lights and SCHOOL BUS signs on top.
If a school bus has its lights flashing and a stop sign extended, you must stop.
If a school van has its lights flashing, you must stop.
It is the law.
Please be patient as children enter and exit school transport vehicles and be mindful that students on school vans have different abilities and transportation needs.
We appreciate your support, as we all work together to keep our children safe.
