Passing a stopped school bus with its red traffic warning lights activated is both dangerous and illegal. 

 School bus transportation is statisically the safest mode of transporting students to and from school.  However, loading and unloading a school bus can be dangerous.  School bus drivers who are properly executing traffic stops to load and unload children are required to provide witness of vehicles that pass the school bus when red flashing warning lights are on.  Please keep bus riders safe by adhering to the school bus loading and unloading rules of the road.
