If it wasn’t already clear that drivers should stop for a school bus, it soon will be. Baltimore County officials announced on Monday, the first day of school for students, that new cameras will be installed on all buses to catch anyone who passes a bus when they aren’t supposed to.
“The overall goal of this program is to increase motorist awareness of students walking to and from school bus stops, and the importance of not passing a school bus picking up and dropping off students,” said Myriam Rogers, superintendent of Baltimore County Public Schools.
She made the announcement at Timonium Elementary School as school buses were finishing their drop-offs. All the system’s school buses, nearly 1,000, will have the cameras. About 350 cameras have been installed already. The rest should be installed by October, a school system spokesperson said.
