School Zones & Bus Laws in Maryland | Baltimore News

School’s back in session in Maryland, and the Department of Transportation is urging drivers to slow down—especially near schools and neighborhoods where kids are walking, biking, and parents are dropping them off. Commutes will be longer, so plan ahead and stay alert. The MVA is also cracking down on school bus violations: flash yellow? Slow down. Flash red with stop arm out? Stop at least 20 feet away—no exceptions unless separated by a barrier. Violations carry steep fines ($250–$570) and 3 license points. With eight recent traffic deaths and over 480 last year, Governor Moore’s “Slow the Fast Down” campaign is more urgent than ever. Everyone—drivers, pedestrians, students—must share responsibility to keep roads safe as the school year begins.
