On an undivided road, must traffic approaching from the opposite direction stop for a school bus displaying flashing red lights?
A stopped west-facing school bus has red warning lamps flashing and its stop arm extended. One car approaches from each direction on the undivided road. A detail shows the red lamp housings.
Correct answer: Yes, traffic in both directions generally must stop.
Why
On an undivided roadway, drivers from both directions stop at least 30 feet before the bus and wait until it moves and its red lights are off. AS 28.35.145(c) exempts a bus on a different, physically separate roadway; a painted center line alone does not create that exception. Continue to yield to children.
