KTTC reports that, with the school year underway, Minnesota traffic safety officials are urging drivers to obey school bus laws and exercise extra caution around school buses and children heading to and from school.
Officials stressed the importance of following the rules meant to protect students and said motorists should expect increased bus activity across Minnesota as classes resume. The advice is part of a broader push to keep students safe during morning and afternoon commutes.
Drivers are being asked to slow down, pay close attention in school zones and near bus stops, and follow state laws designed to protect schoolchildren. Authorities say awareness and patience from motorists can make the difference in preventing collisions and injuries.
