School traffic violations
More than 9,000 school traffic violations were tracked on one single day in Georgia earlier this year.
ATLANTA - Several local school districts and police departments are reminding drivers to prioritize school bus safety.
Georgia is one of more than two dozen states with stop-arm camera laws, aimed at reducing the number of drivers illegally passing stopped school buses.
A recent transportation study revealed a staggering 43.5 million vehicles illegally pass school buses across the U.S. each year.
Earlier this year in Georgia alone, over 9,000 violations were recorded in a single day.
Nationwide, drivers on undivided two-lane highways must stop in both directions when students are boarding or exiting a school bus, ensuring the safety of children traveling to and from school.
