You stopped behind a school bus while children got off. The bus turns off its red lights, but two children are still walking across the road in front of it. What should you do?
A is stopped behind a school bus whose warning lamps are now off. Two children are still crossing the roadway in front of the bus.
Correct answer: Stay stopped until the children have left the roadway and it is safe to go.
Why
Under New Mexico law, the required stop ends when the bus turns off its signals, moves on, or the bus driver waves you on, but your duty of care does not end. Children near a bus can be hidden by the bus or by other vehicles, and they may cross without looking. Move on only when the road is clear and no child is about to step out.
