School Bus Rules, Regulations and Safety Tips
Uxbridge has a large rural population and busing to school on a daily basis is a way of life for many of our children.
The Labour Day weekend traditionally heralds a return to school with over 800,000 throughout Ontario riding a school bus to school.
Here are a few points to remember regarding school bus safety and the highway traffic act regarding school buses.
IT IS THE LAW
All vehicles traveling in both directions must stop when approaching a school bus with its upper red lights flashing. (the only exception is on a divided highway separated by a median if you are approaching the school bus from the opposite direction)
Penalties For Not Stopping
First offence $400 to $2,000 and six demerit points
Each subsequent Offence $1,000 to $4,000, six demerit points
and possible jail time up to six months.
