With the school year underway, Minnesota traffic safety officials are urging drivers across the state to obey school bus laws, KTTC reports. The reminder comes as students return to classrooms and bus traffic increases on neighborhood streets and around schools.
Officials emphasized the importance of following the rules designed to protect students during pick-up and drop-off times. KTTC reports the guidance is intended to reduce risks for children boarding or leaving school buses.
The message from state safety leaders is simple: expect more buses on the road, slow down, and follow the law when buses are stopped. Observing the rules helps keep students, bus drivers and other road users safe as the new school year begins.
