A school bus is stopped with flashing red lights and an extended stop arm. What must an approaching driver do?
A yellow school bus displays red warning lamps and an extended stop arm on an undivided road. Other vehicles approach from opposite directions.
Correct answer: Stop at least 20 feet away until the red lights stop flashing.
Why
Stop at least 20 feet before the bus and remain stopped while its red visual signals operate. Continue only after the red signals end and children are safe from traffic. This applies from either direction on the same roadway. A physically separate opposite roadway has a distinct exception.
