A school bus is stopped with red lights flashing on the opposite roadway, separated from you by a curb or other physical barrier. What does Maine law allow?
Blue car A, the driver in this question, faces right on the lower roadway across a raised, curbed median from left-facing yellow school bus B. Silver car C is behind B on the bus roadway. The bus stop arm is extended. An inset shows red warning lamps; the heading states that they are flashing. No route or response halo is shown.
Correct answer: Continue with caution, because the barrier separates you
Why
You need not stop for the bus in the stated physically separated lane. The exception refers to curbing or another physical barrier, not just a painted center line or a particular number of lanes. Continue cautiously. The statute separately addresses a limited-access highway loading-zone situation with no pedestrian crossing; that is not the basis of this example.
