Every day in China, about 200 million children go to school.Many of them take school buses.What should we do to keep these students safe on the road?

On April 5, the State Council (國(guó)務(wù)院) published new rules about school bus safety.These new rules are stricter than the old ones.

Under the new rules, local governments must make sure that students go to nearby schools or boarding (寄宿的) schools to reduce traffic risks.Also, local governments must help kids in the countryside reach their school buses.

From now on, school buses have a speed limit (限制) of 80 km/h on highways and 60km/h on normal roads.While on the road, other cars must let school buses go first.

The new rules also say that school buses must never be overloaded (超載的).

There are many other rules as well.A school bus must have more than seven seats.On each bus, there must be at least one adult to keep an eye on the kids.Each school bus must have a fire extinguisher (滅火器), a first aid kit (急救箱) and a GPS.

Last year, a series of school bus accidents happened in China.To stop such accidents, the Central Government decided to strengthen (加強(qiáng)) the rules for school buses.
