You should slow down and prepare to stop your vehicle.<\/li>\n<li>Red flashing lights and extended stop arms indicate the bus has stopped and children are getting on or off. You must stop your car and wait until the red lights stop flashing, the extended stop-arm is withdrawn, and the bus begins moving, before you can start driving again.<\/li>\n<li>Even when lights aren\u2019t flashing, watch for children, particularly in the morning or mid-afternoon, around school arrival and dismissal times. Be alert as you back out of a driveway, or drive through a neighborhood, school zone or bus stop.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Parents &#8211; talk bus safety with your children:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Your child should arrive at the bus stop at least 5 minutes before the bus is scheduled to arrive.
