Road Rules Awareness Week 2024

Busways encourages schools to remind high school students and parents about the importance of road rule refreshers and driving around buses. 

With nearly 1,350 buses operating across our network in 2024, this week provides a perfect reminder about road safety in your community, particularly regarding bus safety and commonly misunderstood road rules. 

Many people believe they understand road rules, but a refresher on commonly misunderstood rules can play a crucial role in reducing road accidents. 

Busways would like to remind motorists: 

• That buses are large, heavy vehicles that cannot stop quickly,
• To give way to buses,
• To slow down to 40km/h when bus lights flash, and
• To hold on while travelling and to remain seated until the bus stops.
