Pearland Schools are back in session!
Pearland Police Department would ask that you please pay attention to school buses as they come to a stop and activate their blinking yellow lights, signaling that they are about to deploy their red stop signs. As a reminder, unless there is a raised median or divided roadway, motorists are also required to stop for the loading and unloading of children when traveling the opposite direction of the bus.
Violations such as these pose a significant danger to the children and other motorists along the roadway, which is why warnings will not be issued for this type of violation. The Pearland Police Department would prefer that the violation not happen rather than write a large amount of citations, but will continue to enforce the law until the occurrences cease. Please be mindful of bus traffic and drive safe!
Reference Texas Transportation Code Sec. 545.066. PASSING A SCHOOL BUS; OFFENSE for more information.
