School Bus Crash Safety for Children in Orange County
Children face unique safety risks around school buses and other vehicles. Students should remain seated while a bus is moving and follow the driver’s instructions during travel.
Drivers approaching a school bus should watch carefully for children entering or leaving the vehicle. California law requires motorists to stop when a school bus displays flashing red lights, with specific exceptions for divided roadways.
Parents and caregivers can also teach children to look both ways before crossing near a bus or roadway. Staying alert around school transportation can help reduce the risk of injuries.
