Take time to learn the rules, you may save a life of a child! SCHOOL BUS STOPPING LAW Though school buses can vary in size, all school buses in Ontario are painted chrome yellow and display the words "school bus". The law which is described below applies everywhere, regardless of the posted speed limit or the number of lanes in the road- on highways, country roads, city, town or village streets [H.T. A. 151 (5), (6)] Motorists meeting a stopped school bus with red lights flashing must stop unless they are on a highway divided by a median strip. Motorists overtaking a stopped school bus with red lights flashing on any highway, must stop at least 20 metres behind the bus. Motorists may not proceed until the bus resumes motion, or the lights have stopped flashing. Drivers should be aware that these vehicles may stop and display their red flashing lights, in order to halt sur- rounding traffic anytime, any day - not just during school hours. A driver, convicted of failing to stop when required, can be penalized 6: demerit points plus a fine of $100 to $500 for a first offence. This increases to 6 demerit points plus a fine of $250 to $1000 and /or imprisonment for up to six months for each subsequent offence. Drivers should also be alert when school buses are near railway cross- ings. All school buses transporting children to and from school must stop at any railway crossing that is not pro- tected by gates or railway crossing signals; some school bus drivers choose to stop at protected crossings « as well. The red flashing lights are not required for these stops, so other motorists should be especially alert. J.C. T. PIZZA 825 - 3500
