Passing target: 80% (40/50)
You are driving on a two-lane road with no median. Ahead, in the opposite lane, a school bus has stopped with its red lights flashing, and children are getting off. What must you do?
A approaches a stopped school bus in the opposing lane of an undivided two-lane road. The bus has red warning lamps and an extended stop arm, and a child is at the far curb beside the bus’s front door.
Correct answer: Stop at least 25 feet away, and stay stopped until the red lights go off and the children are clear.
Why
On a two-lane road, on a multilane road where lanes are divided only by lines, or on a private road, New Jersey requires drivers from both directions to stop at least 25 feet from a school bus that has stopped with flashing red lights. Stay stopped until the children have boarded or reached the side of the road and the red lights are off, then move on slowly and watch for children or persons with developmental disabilities who may still cross. The yellow or amber lights come on before the bus stops, so start slowing when you see them.
