School Bus Safety Week Comes To Hatboro

By HATBORO POLICE DEPARTMENT for Patch

Each year, during National School Bus Safety Week, PennDOT works with Pennsylvania State and municipal police departments to conduct Operation Safe Stop. Operation Safe Stop is a proactive approach to educate the motoring public that passing a stopped school bus, when children are loading or unloading, is dangerous and illegal.

The Hatboro PD and many other municipal police departments across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania will be partnering with PennDOT and school districts to educate motorists regarding their duties under the law when approaching a school bus. To learn more about this initiative and the law regarding stopping for school buses please visit: http://www.justdrivepa.org/traffic-safety-information-center/school-bus-safety/

Remember to always drive safely, especially near school bus stops.
