KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Things may look a little different out there as you head out this morning. You may see a lot more children and big yellow buses as students report for the first half day of classes across Kalamazoo County.
Kalamazoo City Commissioner Quiana Decker says drivers should allow a little more time to get where they are going, for the safety of students.
A new feature on Kalamazoo Public School buses this year are rear view mirror cameras that will record the license plate of any vehicle that passes when their red lights are blinking.
115 new cameras were installed this summer.
A new state law makes it possible for courts to issue a ticket, using that video as evidence.
The fine can be anywhere between $100 and $500 dollars, and you can double that if it happens in a school zone.
