Traffic Rule: If you see a school bus stopped, you must stop your car and wait until the red lights stop flashing

Students across the state are heading back to school! If you see a school bus stopped, you must stop your car and wait until the red lights stop flashing, the extended stop-arm is withdrawn, and the bus begins moving, before you can start driving again.

NMDOT builds and maintains many different types of roads across New Mexico, from small two-lanes roads to large six-lane highways and school buses use them all, if you see a school bus stopped, you need to stop too!

Let’s all keep the roads safe for everyone and follow the laws.
