A School Bus and Capitol Hill
Originally uploaded by Smiley Man with a Hat
Just a friendly reminder to everyone as we head into the final days of summer: school’s back in session, and that means school buses are out in force once again.
If you see the yellow flashing lights, slow down and prepare to stop at least 20 feet from the bus so kids can safely exit and cross the street. You MUST stop even if coming from the opposite direction unless the road you are on has a median – this rule is common to Maryland, the District, and Virginia. Drive safe, everyone.
