As the new school year gets underway, Minnesota traffic safety officials are urging drivers to obey state school bus laws, KTTC reports.

The reminder arrives as schools and bus routes resume regular schedules across the state. Officials say following those laws helps protect students boarding and exiting buses and reduces the risk of traffic incidents around school zones.

Traffic safety leaders are asking drivers to pay extra attention around school buses and to follow the legal requirements designed to keep kids safe while traveling to and from school.
