When BOTH Directions Must Stop for a School Bus in PA
Know when to stop for a school bus in Pennsylvania and the penalties for failing to do so.
With school back in session, drivers—especially on Route 202 (Lower York Road) and Shire Drive—should know when they must stop for a school bus in Pennsylvania. On any multi-lane road without a physical divider (even if it has only painted markings or a center turn lane), traffic in all directions must stop at least 10 feet from a stopped bus with red lights flashing and the stop arm extended. Violations trigger an automatic 60-day license suspension, a substantial fine and 5 points on your driving record.
