Abstract:

This report summarizes the Nation’s laws in States and Territories covering a driver’s duties when passing a stopped school bus loading or unloading students. The behavior typically involves stopping for the school bus if it displays flashing red lights and its stop-arm. Illegal passings of stopped school buses loading and unloading students are frequent and can lead to serious pedestrian-involved crashes resulting in injury or death. As part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Congress directed NHTSA to review illegal passing laws in each State related to school buses.
