School bus lights
The Chatham-Kent Police would like to remind the public of the changes to the school bus lighting system, which came into effect in July 2022.
The purpose of the updated lighting system is to make it easier for all road users when school buses are slowing to stop.
These amber lights provide advance notice that the school bus is preparing to stop.
Drivers who see a school bus with its upper amber lights activated should slow down and prepare to stop.
And as usual, vehicles approaching a school bus with its upper red lights and/or stop arm activated must come to a complete stop.
Vehicles that are behind a school bus must stop at least 20 metres away.
School buses made after January 2005 must now be equipped with amber and red flashing lights.
A small number of school buses manufactured before 2005 will continue to operate with an all-red light system.
The one exception is for vehicles in the opposite lane on roadways separated by a median strip.
