Fairfax County enforces $250 fine for bus violations

Starting April 9, drivers in Fairfax County, Virginia, will receive warnings for illegally passing stopped school buses. A 30-day warning period will allow drivers to adjust to the new rules before fines are enforced. From May 12, violators will face a $250 fine. The county is installing cameras on 50 school buses to catch offenders. The goal is to enhance student safety and reduce violations. Falls Church City has seen success with a similar program, leading to fewer violations over the past decade. Fairfax County aims to improve safety for children at bus stops with this new initiative.
