🚨

In North Carolina, it is illegal to pass a stopped school bus when its red lights are flashing and the stop arm is extended. Here’s what you need to know:

🚌 Two-lane road: ALL traffic from both directions must stop.
🚌 Two-lane road with center turn lane: ALL traffic from both directions must stop.
🚌 Four-lane road without a median: ALL traffic from both directions must stop.
🚌 Divided highway with a median or barrier: ONLY traffic following the bus must stop.
🚌 Highway with four or more lanes and a center turn lane: ONLY traffic following the bus must stop.

⚠️ Failing to stop for a school bus is not just dangerous—it can result in heavy fines, points on your license, and increased insurance costs.

Let’s work together to protect the lives of students, teachers, and families across our community. Slow down. Pay attention. Stop for the bus.
