PAGE 8 TME CANADIAN STATESMAN, SEPTEMBER 19,2001 Police warn drivers to stop for the school bus BY CINI))' U PSD ALL Stuff Writer This year's fall colours could include include school-bus yellow and policc- siren red for drivers on the region's provincial highways. Provincial police officers in unmarked unmarked vehicles will be targeting drivers on highways 35/l I5, 7A and 12 who fail to stop when school bus warning lights arc flashing. Constable Julia McCuaig, community community services officers for the OPP's Whitby detachment says there have been a number of complaints, complaints, especially on Hwy. 35/115, about drivers who do not stop for school buses ns they drop off and pick up school children. "We've had a few instances where people don't stop," she says, noting two eases where drivers on the divided highway ignored the warning lights and the stop sign, passing the bus on the right shoulder. shoulder. She says there arc a handful of stops along Hwy. 35/115 but many do not stop because they don't think a school bus should be stopping on a major highway. Regardless of whether a school bus stops' on a major highway or a local street, as long as the lights arc on and the slop sign is out, the rules are.the same, says Const. McCuaig. Drivers travelling behind a school bus when the red lights begin to flash should slow down and prepare prepare to stop. Drivers must stop 20 metres behind the bus and should not move until the bus moves or the red signal lights have stopped flashing. flashing. In situations like Hwy. 35/115 where buses are travelling on divided divided highways, motorists heading in the opposite direction of a slopped school bus are not required to stop, i.',«However motorists on two-lane provincial, highways must stop for stopped school buses travelling in the opposite direction. This problem has surfaced on highways 12 and 7A. Motorists on these roads seem to understand they must slop behind the school buses, but not all drivers stop for buses headed in the opposite opposite direction, says Const. McCuaig. Although she can't say for sure why drivers don't stop for school buses, she suspects a combination of not understanding the rules of the road and being in a hurry is likely to blame. "I'm a mother and my children travel on a school bus and I used to be a school bus driver, so I know what's going on," Const. McCuaig says. Whatever the reason, it is imperative imperative drivers pay attention to avoid the tragedy of a child being hit by a car. The penalty for drivers who fail to obey the law pertaining to slopped school buses is a $500 fine and six demerit points. Those charged with failing to stop for a school bus must appear in court and cannot mail in payment for the fine. i To have your flyers delivered by Durham's#! Carrier Force!
