You are driving on a four-lane highway divided by a raised concrete median. On the other side of the median, a school bus coming toward you stops with its red lights flashing. What does New Mexico law require of you?
A travels on a four-lane highway separated by a raised concrete median. A school bus with red lamps flashing is stopped on the opposite roadway.
Correct answer: You need not stop, because a median separates your roadway from the bus.
Why
A painted center line does not create separate roadways, so on an undivided road, traffic in both directions must stop. The law also excuses traffic on a controlled-access highway when the bus stops in a loading zone where pedestrians may not cross the road. When you pass a stopped bus across a median, slow down and watch for children.
