A school bus is parked at the curb directly in front of a school. Children are walking straight from the school building onto the bus. You are driving past on that street. What does New Jersey law allow?
A approaches a school bus parked at the curb directly in front of a school, identified by the entrance card. Two children walk north along the sidewalk from the entrance toward the bus door, without crossing the travel lane.
Correct answer: You may pass without stopping, but no faster than 10 mph.
Why
Away from the school, you must stop at least 25 feet from a school bus that is picking up or dropping off children and wait until its red lights are off and the children are safe. In front of the school, children move straight between the building and the bus, so the law allows slow passing instead of a full stop. Watch for children who step out from in front of or behind the bus.
