Next week is Safe Stop Week in Wisconsin, an annual campaign promoting safe driving near school buses.
The Wisconsin State Patrol and Wisconsin School Bus Association work together on Operation Safe Stop Week every year to identify areas where school buses are often passed unlawfully so troopers know where to focus their efforts. State law requires motorists to stop at least 20 feet ahead of or behind a stopped school bus with flashing warning lights on. In 2024, more than 12-hundred citations were issued to drivers who failed to stop for school buses.
