Impatient drivers, or maybe a driver that is just not paying attention, don’t seem too concerned about passing a school bus that is loading or unloading children. Whatever the reason, it is illegal to disobey the Stop lights and sign on a school bus.
In Idaho, drivers are required to stop for any bus with its stop arm extended if the road is three lanes or fewer - that’s all the roads in Malad City and Oneida County! If the road is four lanes or more – Oneida County has no roads four lanes or more except on the freeway where buses don’t stop - the traffic traveling in the same direction as the bus is required to stop, but not the traffic traveling in the opposite direction.
The fine for breaking this law is $200 for the first offense for bus stop arm violation. The fine increases to $400 for a second offense, and $600 for a third offense. According to state law, bus drivers should report stop-arm violations to law enforcement, and local authorities will find the driver and issue a citation. Idaho code states that the owner of the car is responsible for the citation unless they can prove someone else was driving, in which case the other person is cited.
In addition, more and more buses are being equipped with stop-arm cameras. The cameras can capture the vehicle, the color of the vehicle, and many times the driver too.
Parents, school administrators and law enforcement officials all over the state of Idaho are becoming increasingly concerned over the issue that puts young children at risk.
Though the school bus is the safest vehicle on the road - students are 70 times more likely to get to school safely compared with traveling by car - almost one-third of the students who died in school-transportation-related incidents from 2006 to 2015 were killed approaching or leaving the bus, according to the National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation Services. We would never want such a tragic accident happen in Oneida County. Please be aware of the law and Stop for all school buses!

CORRECTION
In the July 28 edition of the The Enterprise, the story on the return of Samaria Days stated that the funds from the auction fundraiser would be used to support the Samaria Heritage Square. This is inaccurate. The funds in fact will be used to support repairs to the restroom and water system at Samaria Park. We apologize for any confusion caused by the misstatement.
