The School Safety Depends On Following the Law Rural folks, those living in -small towns and city residents alike have grown accustomed to the sight of the old yellow school bus, but Illinois citizens may not be familiar with the special body of law surrounding school buses.

According to the Illinois State Bar association the law regarding school buses provides for the safety of the school children being transported and the requirements for appropriate safety devices. Motorists should be aware of the safety features on school buses and must follow certain rules when in traffic with a school bus. Upon approaching a school bus stopped for the purpose of loading or discharging pupils, a motorist traveling in either direction must stop and remain stopped until the bus signals are no longer activated. Failure to observe these rules can result in a conviction which carries a penalty of 30 days' suspension of the offending motorist's -drivers license. School buses must be affixed with special visual equipment and other safety devices.
