Posted Date: 08/07/26 (10:21 AM)
You will start seeing our wonderful bus drivers on the roads soon as they start practicing their routes! 🤩
With our yellow school buses on the road, we want to make you aware of a very important new law in Kentucky regarding school bus safety.
KRS 189.370
- Drivers must now stop in all directions when there is no physical barrier or unpaved median, even on 4-lane roads like parts of Lexington Road and US 60.
- Opposite traffic can proceed with caution only when an elevated barrier or median is present.
- If a driver illegally passes a stopped bus and cannot be identified, KRS 189.370 presumes the registered owner or lessee was driving and subjects them to the fines and penalties unless that
presumption is rebutted.
