When the sign says \u2018Stop,\u2019 that means stop. Sounds simple enough, right? But in the case of a stop sign attached to a school bus, drivers aren’t always paying attention.<\/p>

LPS school bus drivers recently cited increased cases of drivers who are ignoring the stop sign on school buses. Nationally, 13 million drivers ignore this simple law.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Please remember:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

  • Nebraska State law requires that when a motorist approaches a school bus from either the front or rear, and the stop warning signal lights are flashing, the driver shall reduce their speed to not more than 25 miles per hour.<\/li>
  • If the bus stop signal arm is extended, the driver of a vehicle \u2013 coming from the front or rear \u2013 shall come to a complete stop until: the stop signal arm is retracted and the school bus resumes motion, or until signaled by the bus driver to proceed.\u00a0<\/li>
  • When encountering a stopped school bus, motorists should slow down, pay attention and watch for students walking or running across the street.\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>

    LPS has created a video to show on cable channel 21, the LPS website, social media sites and other places, stressing the importance of student safety in or near school buses.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
