INDIANAPOLIS (WOWO): As school systems in Indiana get back in session, the Indiana Department of Homeland Security and the Indiana State Police are reminding Hoosier drivers to be more alert and aware near schools, bus stops and places where children may walk or bicycle to or from school.

They add that, on roadways divided by a physical barrier, only drivers heading in the same direction as a bus must stop. However, drivers should be alert and cautious at all times when school buses are on the road.
