Attention
     Every year, the Houlton Police Department receives and investigates way too many complaints on vehicles passing school buses. Maine State Law: T-29A, Sec-2308 states: “A school bus operator shall activate flashing lights at least 100 feet before a stop is made to receive or discharge passengers. These lights must be continually displayed until after the bus has received or discharged passengers.
     “The operator of a vehicle on a way, in a parking area or on school property, on meeting or overtaking a school bus from either direction when the bus has stopped with its red lights flashing to receive or discharge passengers, shall stop the vehicle before reaching the school bus. The operator may not proceed until the school bus resumes motion or until signaled by the school bus operator to proceed.”
    Passing a stopped school bus is a class E felony.
