School Flashing Lights to be Activated

In preparation of school beginning later in the week, reduced-speed school flashing lights will be activated Monday, August 9. Motorists are encouraged to be aware of children and school buses and practice extra caution while traveling through these school zones. Per Kansas law, vehicles must stop and yield to pedestrians in marked crosswalks; additionally, when the flashing lights on a school bus are activated and its STOP arm is extended, surrounding vehicles traveling in both directions must come to a complete stop.
