🚸 Back-to-School Safety Reminder 🚸
It’s that time of year! 📚🚌 When you see a school bus with the stop arm extended and red lights flashing, you must stop — from both directions — on any road that is not divided by a physical median or barrier.
⚠️ Flashing lights mean the bus is stopping or has just stopped. Children may cross the road from either direction, so all lanes of traffic must come to a complete stop.
ND Century Code 39-10-46 requires drivers to remain stopped until:
✅ The bus moves again
✅ The driver signals you to proceed
✅ The lights and stop arm are no longer activated
New Penalty updated August 1, 2025 (HB 1294 – 69th Legislative Assembly): Passing a stopped school bus now comes with a $250 fine and 6 points on your driver’s license.
Let’s keep our kids safe this school year!
