Ocean City asks drivers to be careful around school buses
As Worcester County students return to school, the Ocean City Police Department asks drivers to be cautious while near school buses.
City officials say that school buses should be expected on the roadways of Ocean City between 7 AM and 8:15 AM, and then again between 2:45 PM and 4 PM to pick-up and drop-off students.
While on Coastal Highway, drivers traveling in the same direction as the school bus MUST stop when the bus activates flashing red lights.
The Ocean City Police Department says they consistently assigns additional patrols to enforce school bus safety each school day, and drivers are reminded to slow down and be alert in residential neighborhoods and school zones.
Parents should also remind their children to stay on the sidewalk while waiting for the bus and wait for the bus driver’s signal before crossing in front of the bus.
