NORTH RIDGEVILLE, Ohio – With the beginning of in-person classes again in the North Ridgeville school system the problem of drivers illegally passing school buses also begins again.
“Please be reminded it is illegal to pass stopped school buses. This is a serious safety concern that as a community needs to be addressed,” said Mayor Kevin Corcoran.
The city has issued the rules again but with some clarifications and additions that might be helpful.
Ohio law states: Passing a stopped school bus is ILLEGAL on all two- or three-lane roads. The Ohio law states drivers “shall stop at least ten feet from the front or rear of the school bus and shall not proceed until such school bus resumes motion, or until signaled by the school bus driver to proceed.”
Drivers are often confused about stopping for a schoolbus if there are more than two lanes. The law also states:
“When a highway is divided into four or more traffic lanes, a driver need not stop for a school bus approaching from the opposite direction…”
In North Ridgeville there is only one section of road that applies regarding four or more lanes: Lorain Road from Bagley Road east to the city limit of North Olmsted.
Speed limit reminder: “The speed limit in school zones is 20 mph during recess and during the opening and closing hours of schools.”
An easy way to remember school bus passing laws is to simply remember: When in doubt, STOP!
“Please pay attention and help keep the children in our community safe,” said Corcoran.
