Stop for school buses

All school buses have flashing lights and stop signs that indicate children and either loading or unloading from a school bus. Wyoming State Statute requires all drivers come to a complete stop when approaching a school bus from either direction while their lights and stop sign are activated. Drivers cannot resume driving until the bus driver has deactivated the stop sign and lights. If you pass a school bus while their stop sign is activated with lights on you can be issued a citation that carries a fine of $435.

As of July 1st 2019, State Statute allows for school bus video systems and concerned citizens to submit video evidence of drivers passing a bus with activated stop signals and can lead to citations for the driver as well. We hear lots of excuses why drivers don’t stop, but we take student safety seriously and so should you, this school year lets work together to keep our kids safe.
