School Starts: Slow Down, Watch For Students

Algonquin and Lake in the Hills will be heading back to school!

From Algonquin PD:Most Schools Start Next Week, just a reminder of the law when approaching a school bus. Be sure to leave a little early on your commute and have a little patience with the school buses.

"The driver of a vehicle upon a highway having 4 or more lanes which permits at least 2 lanes of traffic to travel in opposite directions need not stop such vehicle upon meeting a school bus which is stopped in the opposing roadway; and need not stop such vehicle when driving upon a controlled access highway when passing a school bus traveling in either direction that is stopped in a loading zone adjacent to the surfaced or improved part of the controlled access highway where pedestrians are not permitted to cross."
