You are driving behind a school bus when its amber lights begin to flash. What does this tell you?
A follows a westbound school bus. Its warning is identified as flashing amber, and no stop arm is extended.
Correct answer: The bus is about to stop for children, so slow down and get ready to stop
Why
A school bus gives a two-step warning. Flashing amber lights mean the bus will stop soon; alternating flashing red lights and the extended stop signal arm mean it has stopped and traffic must stop. Treat the amber lights like a yellow traffic light: slow down, keep a safe distance and be ready to stop well back from the bus.
