NEWLAND â The Avery County School System is going all in to protect students who ride the bus through an innovative safety system, which is the first of its kind in the state.
The system uses a technology referred to as Predictive Stop Arms that utilizes radar and a loud external speaker to warn students of oncoming vehicles both in the rear and front of the bus if a vehicle is anticipated to speed by a stopped school bus. Initially announced by the school system in January, the new technology is currently being used on two buses on routes in which vehicles have run by a stopped bus, specifically on the four-lane in Newland between the traffic light and the WECR radio station, which is where 80 percent of the violations occur.
