Red Light Law

An Important reminder to our parents, community members
and driving-age students:

A young boy crosses the street in front of a yellow school bus while a crossing guard holds up a stop sign in the background.

Red Light Escort - California Vehicle Code 22112

Please adhere to the current California school bus safety laws. The current red light law requires that motorists stop when school buses activate the flashing red lights, indicating that the bus is loading or unloading children. Motorists who are approaching the school bus on the opposite side of a divided or multiple-lane highway are not required to stop. This is the only exception! When you see flashing red lights activated on a school bus, prepare to STOP! Violators will be fined. For more information contact local law enforcement officials.
