Addy’s Law is NOW in effect as of July 1, 2024
Wilkes County, GA Schools start back on Monday, August 5, 2024! Please share this post to help keep our kids safe and avoid hefty fines. Law enforcement will be strictly monitoring for anyone ignoring school signs and signals.
Under the new law, this violation is now classified as a misdemeanor of a high and aggravated nature. The fines have increased to a minimum of $1,000, and offenders still face up to 12 months in jail. Additionally, drivers will incur six points on their license for this violation. All Wilkes County buses are equipped with stop-arm cameras. These cameras capture footage providing clear evidence for law enforcement agencies to issue citations. This means, even if there is no law enforcement on scene when you pass the bus, you could still be charged based on the camera.
Safety Reminders for Motorists:
1. The best practice is to always stop when you see a school bus.
2. Yellow flashing lights mean the bus is about to stop to load or unload children. Slow down and prepare to stop.
3. You can start moving again only when the red flashing lights turn off, the stop-arm is retracted, and the bus starts moving.
4. Never pass on the right side of the bus where children enter or exit. This is illegal and extremely dangerous.
5. Slow down and be vigilant for children walking in the street, especially in areas without sidewalks. Watch for kids playing or gathering near bus stops.
6. Avoid distractions while driving. Be alert, as children arriving for the bus might run into the street without checking for traffic.
7. Be cautious of young people who might be distracted and unaware of the traffic around them.
We are ready for the First Day of the 2024-25 school year! Can't wait to see you Monday, August 5!!
