Road Rules for School Buses, School Zones and Crossing Guards

Road Rules for School Buses, School Zones and Crossing Guards

It's back-to-school time! Fairfax County Public Schools begin on Monday, Aug. 18, while private schools also begin around the same time.

There are three ways we need drivers to pay more attention on our roads: 

  • Stopped school buses with flashing lights
  • School zones
  • Crossing guards
