The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is collecting information to understand how well drivers know the laws about passing stopped school buses, which often have flashing lights. This information will come from national and community surveys of drivers, aiming to reduce illegal passes of school buses and improve safety. The study involves surveys conducted for drivers from different groups to evaluate the effectiveness of programs, including the use of automated cameras. Comments on the information collection can be submitted until February 8, 2021.
Simple Explanation
The government wants to learn how well people know the rules about not driving past a school bus that's stopped with its lights flashing. They will ask drivers questions to help make passing school buses safer, and they'll use tools like cameras to catch rule-breakers.
