As CNY students return to school, safety officials from the Onondaga County Traffic Safety Advisory Board are reminding drivers that passing a stopped school bus is illegal regardless of travel direction. State traffic data shows that roughly 50,000 vehicles pass stopped buses every day, putting children at risk. Police will monitor school zones and rely on bus stop-arm cameras to issue citations to violators.
AAA Western and Central New York and local police are reminding drivers to slow down and be aware of stopped school buses and pedestrians as schools reopen across the region.
