TIP OF THE WEEK

August is back-to-school safety month, and the Friendswood Police Department would like to provide the residents of Friendswood with tips about sharing the road safely with school buses.

- Never pass a bus from behind if it’s stopped to load or unload children.

- If the yellow or red lights are flashing and the stop arm is extended, traffic must stop.

- The area 10 feet around a school bus is the most dangerous for children; stop far enough back to allow them space to safely enter and exit the bus.

- Be alert; children often are unpredictable, and they tend to ignore hazards and take risks.
