Welcome to the Village of Wild Rose, Chief Saunders warns vehicles must stop for school buses displaying flashing red lights According to Wisconsin law, when approaching a school bus from the front or rear, drivers must stop at least 20 feet from the bus when it is stopped and displaying high-mounted flashing red warning lights. Drivers may not proceed until after the bus resumes its route or turns off the flashing red warning lights. The stop arm on a bus is an added warning to drivers. But the lack of an extended stop arm is not a reason to pass a stopped bus with flashing high-mounted red warning lights. Drivers on the other side of a divided roadway separated by a median or other physical barrier are not required to stop for a school bus. When on a multi-lane roadway separated only by a solid yellow line or a paved median that can be driven on, drivers in both directions are required to stop for a stopped school bus with red warning lights activated. Motorists should always watch for children in the vicinity of a school bus. Besides law enforcement officers, school bus drivers are authorized to report any violations involving illegal passing of their buses. The owner of the vehicle, who might not be the offending driver, will then be responsible for paying the citation. A citation for failure of a vehicle to stop for a school bus costs $326.50 with four demerit points. If reported by a school bus driver, the vehicle owner's liability for the illegal passing of a bus costs $326.50 with no demerit points. Chief Saunders said, "Violations of school bus safety laws are serious and expensive for a very good reason."

"Drivers must always be aware that children might not be paying attention and don't see oncoming vehicles when they get on or off a bus." says Chief Russ Saunders. "As we start another school year, drivers need to remember to stop when they approach a bus with flashing red warning lights and use caution whenever children are in the area."
With the start of another school year, drivers must be extremely cautious when approaching school buses and obey laws designed to protect students-especially young children who are hard to see and may dart into traffic unexpectedly while going to or from the bus.

Planning a vacation with water in mind? We have some of the best lakes for fishing and recreation in the area. Wild Rose is central to over a dozen clear, fresh water lakes with sandy beaches and miles of rivers and creeks ideal for fishing, many with public access for swimming and boat launch facilities.
Our cold, spring-fed creeks and rivers provide fishing and canoeing opportunities. Justifiably, the importance of these waterways in the Wild Rose area are so integral to the Wisconsin fishing industry, the Wisconsin DNR located its cool/cold water fish hatchery here shortly after 1900. Major renovations to this fish hatchery in the Fall of 2008 include a brand-new Visitor Center. Self-guided tours of exhibits and facilities are available, so come point out the "big one" that got away!
Looking for good hunting? Public hunting areas abound in the Wild Rose area.
