🚍 Flashing Red. Kids Ahead. — Bus Safety Reminder 🛑

As the school year starts, Arkansas motorists are reminded of a critical safety rule:

According to Arkansas law, it is illegal to pass a stopped school bus whenever its red lights are flashing, meaning children are boarding or exiting the bus.

📋 What Every Driver Should Know:

You must stop in both directions on 2‑lane roads and 4‑lane highways with or without a center turn lane, unless there's a median 20 feet or wider.

Outstanding penalties under Arkansas’ Isaac’s Law can include fines up to $1,000 or more, plus potential jail time—highlighting how serious this violation is .

👫 What Students & Pedestrians Should Do:

Be visible and alert near bus stops and crosswalks.

Stay clear of the road until the bus has pulled away.

Avoid distractions—keep phones down and eyes focused when walking.

🔁 Community Safety Is a Shared Responsibility
Every driver and pedestrian contributes to keeping our students safe. Let’s commit to obeying the law, being patient, and slowing down as a bus approaches or departs. Click the link below for traffic flow and drop-off/pick-up information:

Remember: Flashing Red Means Kids Ahead. Together, we can make sure Arkansas children arrive safely at school. 💛🚌✨
