This week marks School Bus Safety Week, emphasizing the importance of ensuring children's safety during their commutes to and from school. Authorities urge everyone to remain vigilant and adhere to basic safety guidelines.
Key recommendations include stopping for school buses with flashing lights, as it is both a legal requirement and a life-saving measure. Additionally, individuals are advised to stay alert in school zones and watch for children crossing the street.
Parents and guardians are encouraged to teach children proper safety procedures. These include waiting for the bus to come to a complete stop before approaching it and looking both ways when crossing roads.
The initiative calls on the community to raise awareness about keeping everyone safe on Illinois roadways.
