(Southeast Indiana) - It is back to school season.
Area schools in southeast Indiana are returning to the classroom this week, while a few other school corporations will start next week, which means school buses are returning to area roads.
The Indiana State Police want to remind everyone the importance of watching for stopping school buses while they are picking up and dropping off students.
Do you know when to stop for a school bus?
Two-Lane Roadways
If a school bus stops on a two-lane road and the red flashing lights are activated and the stop arm is extended, all motorists MUST stop.
Multi-Lane Roadways with NO Barrier between Lanes
When a school bus stops on a multi-lane roadway without a barrier and the red flashing lights are activated and the stop arm is extended, all motorists MUST stop.
Multi-Lane Roadway with a Grassy and/or Concrete Barrier
When a school bus stops and the red flashing lights are activated and the stop arm is extended, only vehicles behind the bus MUST stop. Vehicles that are approaching from the opposite side are NOT required to stop.
