" $5 DOWN, $10 MONTH MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Ore., Drivers Reminded Salem Oregon drivers have been reminded by the depart ment of motor vehicles, that "every school bus is an auto matic stop sign" when stopped on a city street, rural road or highway. Also pointed out was that Oregon law requires traffic to stop on a two-lane highway when meeting or overtaking a school bus which has halted to load or unload children. ' On highways having three or more lanes, vehicles must stop only if they are travel ing in the same direction as the bus. After having stopped, vehicles must not proceed as long as any children are leav ing -the bus or crossing the highway. Oregon, law also contains the provision that a designat ed -speed of 20 miles per hour or less must be observed when passing school buildings, grounds or street crossings "during school recess or while children are going to or from school during opening and closing hours." . .;. The significance of the need for "all due safety precaution is emphasized by the depart ment of motor vehicles rec ords showing that last year 'there were nine fatal pedes trian accidents, and nine fa tal bicycle accidents in the 5 to 14-year school-age group. 'Parents whose youngsters are entering the first grade can reduce the danger to their children if they, will show SOUTH RIVERSIDE Wednesday, September 3, 1951 f Of School Laws their children the safest way to school, explain the school bus rules and the meaning of signs and signals controlling traffic, the department said.
