Passing target: 80% (40/50)
You are on a highway divided by a raised median. On the other roadway, across the median, a school bus has stopped with its red lights flashing to let children off. What does New Jersey law require you to do?
A approaches a stopped school bus across a raised concrete median on a divided highway. The bus is in the far roadway’s curb lane, with its red warning lamps illuminated and stop arm extended.
Correct answer: Slow to no more than 10 mph, and keep that speed until you have passed the bus and any children.
Why
A raised median or safety island changes the school bus rule only for drivers on the other roadway: they may pass without stopping, but no faster than 10 mph, and they may not speed up until they are past the bus and any children near it. Drivers on the same roadway as the bus, coming from behind, must still stop at least 25 feet away. Do not confuse this 10 mph limit with the 15 mph limit for passing a stopped ice cream truck.
