This means slow moving school buses are traveling our roadways. Remember you must stop no closer than 25' for school buses whenever the alternating red lights are flashing.A disturbing fact! A survey conducted by the New Hampshire School Transportation Association suggests that as many as 11,500 violations a year may be occurring in the state by motorists not stopping for school buses with red flashing lights.
