A reminder of California law: California law prohibits passing a school bus when children are loading or unloading. When lights and signs are activated, all vehicles must stop. You should also be careful to obey the directions of school safety patrols or school crossing guards. For the crossing guard’s safety, allow him or her to get safely to the side of the road before driving ahead.
Some school buses flash yellow lights when preparing to stop to let children off the bus. The yellow flashing lights warn you to slow down and prepare to stop. When the bus flashes red lights (located at the top front and back of the bus), you must stop from either direction until the children cross the street safely and the lights stop flashing.
