School BusesStandalone practice
According to Alberta's guide, about how far away should you stop for a school bus displaying flashing red lights on an undivided highway?
A stopped school bus has flashing red loading lamps and an extended stop arm. A approaches from behind and C from the front on an undivided highway.
Correct answer: About 20 metres
Why
Alberta's guide recommends stopping about 20 m from the bus when its red lamps flash. The law requires stopping before reaching the bus; the 20 m figure is the guide's safety recommendation, not a statutory measurement in s 72.
