end of the project area.

Safety is Always in Session: Back-to-School Reminders for Motorists
Montana’s schools are back in session, which means many children are walking,
bicycling, or riding a school bus to and from their destination. MDT would like to
remind motorists to always be attentive and alert while driving, to share the road, and
to obey all traffic laws as school days bring school buses and increased traffic during
school start and end times. Make sure you understand and follow Montana’s school
bus laws. Yellow flashing lights indicate children are preparing to load or unload, and
motorists should be prepared to stop. Red flashing lights indicate children are loading
or unloading, and motorists MUST stop at least 30 feet from the school bus and wait
until red lights are no longer flashing. Together, we can help keep our students safeon their journey! Learn more about the goal of Vision Zero and school bus safety
