The 2026–2027 school year is here, and the Moore County Public School buses will be back on the road soon!

Let’s work together to keep every student safe by remembering North Carolina’s school bus stopping laws:

🟥 Two-Lane Roads: Traffic in BOTH directions must stop.
🟥 Two-Lane with a Center Turn Lane: Traffic in BOTH directions must stop.
🟥 Four Lanes (No Median): Traffic in BOTH directions must stop.
🟨 Divided Highway (with a Median/Barrier): Only traffic following the bus must stop. Opposite traffic may proceed with caution.
🟨 Four or More Lanes (with Center Turn Lane): Only traffic following the bus must stop.

Expect an increase in traffic for the first two weeks of school. Please plan accordingly near school zones and be mindful of school zone speed limits.

Stay alert, slow down, and protect our kids!
